Interesting new classes offered for spring
Editor’s note: HPU faculty offers
new courses every term, but spring 2007 seems especially
rich.
Martha E. Randolph, a student worker in the University’s
Center for Graduate and Adult Services, offers this list
of some of them. Elsewhere in this issue, and in future issues,
she and Kalamalama staff will provide in-depth coverage of
some of these classes and their instructors. [More]

New course in health com
by Kalamalama staff
“There is a place on the cutting edge
of health care and medicine for effective communication and
marketing professionals—if they understand the landscape,
culture, and language,” said Dr. Penny Pence Smith,
assistant professor of communication and program chair for
advertising and public relations in the College of Communication.
Smith’s new course, Integrated Health Communication,
offered by the College of Communication in spring 2006, will
introduce students to this vital field and help them scope
out the pathways to a dynamic and successful future.
The course will be offered jointly to graduate (COM 6910)
and undergraduate (COM 3910) levels on Wednesday evenings,
said Smith.
According to Assistant Dean of Communication Dr. John Hart, “Smith
is a nationally recognized marketing and management consultant
in the health care field.” He added that she is also
president of Medical Marketing Management, a 12-year-old
consulting firm.
Integrated Health Communication will explore the complex
and dynamic world of communication in health care, including:
·
The difficult and sensitive requirements of care giver to
patient;
·
The educational mandates of provider relations;
·
Social marketing and messaging for health care initiatives
to at-risk publics; and
·
Marketing communications for provider organizations.
“
All Integrated Health Communication class members,” said
Smith, “will explore the complex relationships among
the health care industry segments. In addition, graduate
students in the class will study management and theoretical
aspects of the field. Each student will have the opportunity
to develop a communication program or campaign for an organization
of individual interest.”
Integrated Health Communication is available online or through
the Registrar’s Office at (808) 544-0239. For more
information, call Smith at (808) 566-2423. or e-mail psmith@hpu.edu.

inconvenienced, but if the drivers aren’t getting paid
