My major is Healthcare Administration Management and I have been in the healthcare field for over 15 years. Clinical and Clerical both sides of the healthcare.  

The course project is a marketing plan. You will select a product or service (it can be existing but if it is, your work should be original – not obtained from that business!). Over the weeks you will be working on different sections of the marketing plan.

• First assignment will be your marketing plan proposal.
• You will then be submitting draft versions to show your progress. During that time I will provide feedback and recommendations.
• Final marketing plan will be due week 7.

There is a marketing plan sample for your reference. And there are videos and other links to also help you.

Here's another link that shows you different versions and templates. Good luck and reach out if you have any questions. (note copy the whole link in your browser)
