The Role of Mentorship and Professional Organizations in Healthcare

 

These days there are a number of avenues for individuals to dive into the healthcare industry. Gone are the days where proficiency in medicine was the only requirement for a career in healthcare.

That has certainly been the case for Kevin Stevenson, who has worked with various healthcare organizations for over 30 years with expertise in operations, strategy, network development, marketing and crisis communications. On this podcast Kevin discusses his journey into healthcare and shares some practical career advice for anyone interested in joining the industry.

From his entrance into healthcare to his current role as Executive Vice President for the North Texas region of IntegraNet Health, Kevin has seen the positive effects of industry professionals who are willing to provide guidance to newcomers.

“It speaks to the type of people that enter our industry,” he said. “We are, for the most part, servant leaders. We’re looking for ways to serve not only our patients, our constituents, our doctors or whatever, but really the community and humanity as a whole.”
