The inspiration for the Student Health Occupation Research Initiative (SHORI) came from a deep-rooted passion for bridging the gap between education and the healthcare industry. Founded in Providence, Rhode Island, our journey began with a simple idea: to equip students with the skills and connections they need to thrive in their future careers. Having navigated the complexities of the healthcare landscape myself, I saw firsthand the challenges students face when making this critical transition from education to career. It became my mission to create a more seamless and supportive pathway. Our team is driven by a commitment to excellence and a personal touch in everything we do, ensuring that each student receives the guidance and opportunities they need. Whether through our career partnership development, dynamic workshops, or personalized mentorship programs, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of students. We invite educators, industry partners, and community members to join us in our mission to support and bolster the next generation of healthcare professionals. Together, we can create a brighter future for our students and improve healthcare outcomes for all.
