1 Unit 9 Assignment Morgan Romba Purdue University Global CS204 Prof. Hansen August 13, 2023
2 Unit 9 Assignment Portfolio Introduction Explain who you are and your chosen professional field. My name is Morgan Romba and the professional field that I have chosen is healthcare administrator. Healthcare administrators play an important role in their facility. Even though they may not always interact with patients they are helping by supporting those who are. Healthcare administrators are well-versed in the laws and rules governing the treatment of patients. They have duties that are quite unlike those of a doctor or physician. Healthcare administrators are in charge of the institution itself, while clinicians supervise patients in- person (WGU, n.d). Healthcare administrators may be in charge of keeping track of patient data and making sure they receive the best possible treatment. They may also be a member of the group that compiles medical records for analysis and research to find any gaps or barriers to providing high-quality treatment. This position may even assist in ensuring that the hospital has enough medical personnel to handle the rising demand for treatment (Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, n.d). Include an overview of how you perceive yourself professionally. When I think about myself professionally, the first thing that comes to mind is hard working. When I am given a task, I put my all into it to ensure that is not only done well, but also done
3 on time. This could mean that I must arrive at work early or stay later to ensure that my task is completed in a way that I could consider satisfactory. When I have a task at hand, I set goals and expectations for myself, and I strive to meet those goals and expectations. I would also describe myself as an honest and ethical person. Sometimes doing the right things is not always easy, but it is important to do. I not only prove that with the things that I say but the things that I do as well, and I make sure that those two are always the same. But I also know when to admit I am wrong and hold myself accountable. While we may want to think we are always right, I think that someone who is honest can admit their mistakes and improve upon them. With those mistakes I can learn how to not only be a better employee or leader, but I can learn how to be a better person as well. Finally, I think that I appear to look professional in the eyes of others. I follow the dress code and I go to work neat and clean. I do not go in wearing torn jeans, stained shirts, and holey shoes. I make sure that my hair is done daily and that I am free from overpowering smells such as too much perfume. I also make sure that I greet everyone with a friendly smile and hello, which can also have an impact on professional appearance (Philobos, 2022). Lifelong professionalism and how you will maintain your image. Include an overview of how you will focus on continuing to maintain your professional image in the future of the career you have chosen to pursue. One way that I will continue to maintain my professional image in the future is to be careful of
4 the information that I post on social media. Even though I could already be employed, posting something compromising would make it difficult for the company to keep me there without damaging their own image. Situations like that could lead me to unemployment and could possibly make it hard for me to find future employment. Posting photos of myself out at a bar may seem harmless, but it could give my employer or future employer the impression that I am reckless and may not be dependable (SiteProNews, 2021). Another way that I plan to maintain my professional image is to ask for feedback from my leaders. While many of us think that we are doing our job excellently, asking for feedback from managers can help us improve in areas we may not realize. Finally, staying involved in my career can help me maintain my professional image. That means learning new skills, taking the training opportunities the company provides and sharing the skills and information with those around me (Engineering Management Institute, 2011). Short-term goals Write 2–3 short-term goals written as a SMART Statement, a plan to meet your goal, and your rationale. Goal Statement 1 : I will continue to improve my public speaking. Plan : I will find a public speaking coaching near my area and set up an appointment before
5 graduation. Rationale : Public speaking is not something that I have ever excelled at. Often when I am in front of a large group of people I freeze up. Becoming proficient at public speaking can help me further my career. It can do this by making me more comfortable during interviews. Instead of sitting there going “um” and “ahh” or even going still, I can think of answers to the questions asked. It can also help me articulate myself better, allowing me to get my information across in a logical manner for those interviewing me. It could also help me convince someone that I am the best candidate for the position (University of the People, n.d). Not only can public speaking help me in my professional life, but it also can help me with my personal life as well. Being able to do well at public speaking could boost confidence as well as improving communication skills. While these are personal goals, they can also help my professional life as well. Being able to communicate well in both personal and professional life can help to create many opportunities (University of the People, n.d). Goal Statement 2: I will pursue higher education so I can stay proficient in the industry within 6 months of graduation. Plan: I am going to investigate certification programs that I can use alongside my degree that I am obtaining from Purdue to stay well informed and skilled.
6 Rationale: Healthcare administration professionals frequently pursue certifications to highlight their essential competencies. Even though all corporations may not find them necessary, they help people in the industry who have formal education in healthcare administration in advancing their careers. Healthcare administrator is a job that is constantly growing and with more people applying for these positions, a certificate can help them stand out. By displaying their knowledge and abilities and setting oneself apart from other experts, certified individuals may highlight their skill set. When looking for new work prospects or hoping to get promoted at their existing employer, this is extremely important (Public health degrees, n.d). Additionally, healthcare administrators may be able to improve their expertise through the process of studying for certification tests. They can also brush up on information they may have studied while obtaining their degree (Public health degrees, n.d). Individuals are often taught a lot of information while obtaining their degree but may not use all of it frequently. Going through the certification program can allow for them to use the information they learned but may not have used since graduation. Goal Statement 3: I am going to decide what career path I want to follow with my degree. Plan: I am going to investigate jobs that utilize my degree and do more research regarding
