Medical Coordinator Internship Report

This report is a compilation of our conversation with Karen Gordon - Sosby, associate director at the Texas State University Student Health Center made for an interview report. Ms. Karan has been working at Texas state health center for 23 years. She started her career with a public health degree in health education and a business degree in accounting and later moved to administration. Interestingly she has been working at a single place from the start of her health administration career; she made a remark on the disadvantage the younger generations most often face by being too quick in leaving an organization. She said that organizations would like to hire those who are interested in staying with them for long, also she shared her own situation of how there are less chances that someone could fill her position with the same kind of experience and knowledge of needs of the university.

I am currently a student at University of Colorado Denver, double majoring in Public Health and Sociology. I will complete my undergraduate degree on July 28, 2017. My next goal is to pursue a master’s degree in Health Systems Management, and Policy. This program is offered at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus; however, I missed the deadline.

For health 490, I am seeking to get an internship that will help cultivate certain aspects of my personal, academic, and career development. When considering my personal development, what I strongly want to improve upon are skills such as leadership capabilities, public speaking, and health communication. I am also seeking for a boost in my confidence in regards to my overall competency and knowledge base in the health field. My self-assurance will not simply stem from the education I gained at Maryland, but will also depend heavily on the first-hand experiences my internship will provide. By exuberating more confidence, I will be able to become more of an effective leader, which will in turn make me successful in my field of work. The target

Since the inauguration of my health care career at Keck Medicine of USC, I knew there would be no other academic institution that could better prepare me to excel at becoming a leader amongst the health care community. I have inquired with multiple USC hospital employees about the EMHA program, and all have spoken with high regards that USC offers an excellent healthcare administration master’s degree. I hope to be challenged intellectually while developing leadership skills necessary to mature into a successful leader. My work experience has prepared me to undertake the challenges that would be associated with remaining a full time employee at USC while pursuing an Executive Master of Health Administration.

I’m intrigued and eager to learn all I can about health administration. I plan to earn a Master’s degree in Health Administration, which I will use to further my career with DaVita dialysis as a Group Facility

The experience discussed in the Prior Learning Assessment demonstrates progressive growth in the health services management field. This learner has gained knowledge in management practices, healthcare regulations, and general leadership practices. The Health Care Administration program (HCAP) has further prepared this learner for an entry level clinic manager position. However, the overall goal is to continue learning and taking advantage of on-the-job learning opportunities that allows for further growth in this career field.

The healthcare sector offers a variety of professional opportunities that include pediatric, geriatrics, public policy and many other areas in which I hope to make a impact towards. I have always been intrigued by medicine and continue to gain more interest in public health. In the future, I desire to combine both medicine and public health by participating in an MD and MPH program. My experiences and education provide me with constant motivation in achieving my goals.

With an internship at Kane County Health Department, I hope to gain a better understanding of the different aspects of Public Health and County government. The areas I am especially interested in are disease prevention, epidemiology, and administration/policy. My goals include to learn and hopefully be part of the process of investigating and preventing the spread of communicable diseases. Being a sophomore at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville I am currently studying how to apply theories to programs. And I believe that this internship will serve as a great way to apply what I have learned in my classes. I am also very interested in the process of educating the community and raising awareness. I am currently volunteering for the Southern

The invaluable skills that I have gained and learned through my after school clubs, Future Business Leaders of America, (FBLA) and National Honor Society( NHS), has stirred up a desire in me to help my community and to make a difference in the lives of people, by majoring in the Public Health field. Through Public Health, I will help those in my community at large to live healthy lives; mentally, socially, physically and culturally. Healthcare is an essential need in life and is a great field that would allow me to make a difference.

During the summer of 2015, I interned at a local doctor’s office. My passion for working in the medical field grew tremendously. I absolutely loved the experience I received and I also got offered a job after the internship was completed. Even though I was unable to accept the job offer because of furthering my education and because of my current job, I knew my hard work and dedication had paid off. I believe my education and the experience I received has provided me with a phenomenal introduction to the heath care field.

Welcome to my Health Care Administration Capstone Portfolio. I am currently completing my Bachelors of Science Degree in Healthcare Administration at Polk State College. This portfolio includes the names of the courses I have taken, a brief description of each course, and the eleven outcomes that were necessary for me to learn and master. In addition, I have enclosed eleven essays that explain how I met the objectives of this degree, as well as I have provided many links to artifacts that show proof of the work that I have done to achieve my mastery.

While gaining valuable work experience, I intend to simultaneously obtain a master’s degree in Public Health. After the completion of my master’s degree, I plan to utilize my master’s degree and work experience concurrently to achieve a managerial position. Subsequently, I aim to complete my academic achievements with a doctoral degree. Eventually, my primary ambition is to withhold the ranking of CEO. My main objective while embarking on the health care administrator journey, will be to impact the lives of patients so that it is not questionable whether their best interest is being considered. This impact will not be done directly or hands on, but rather through the improvement of the health care system as a

The conclusion of my Internal Medicine clerkship was in Rheumatology. The blend of musculoskeletal disorders, overlapping with different acute and chronic conditions and how debilitating these conditions could become was very powerful to witness. There were many memorable encounters that I was able to experience during my month in Rheumatology. However, I can recall the first patient that encompassed the principles I had learned to appreciate about medicine. This patient had severe Rheumatoid Arthritis with extremely elevated inflammatory markers on a previous visit. When I entered the room, I remember glancing back at the patient and her chart a few times, as she appeared at least ten years younger than what the chart was indicating. After

I aspire to one day become a medical examiner. I have always been interested in both the field of medicine and the criminal justice system and this career is a way I can integrate both. This internship will help me to learn more about this career as well as both fields of interest. I will be a part of the arson bureau where I have the opportunity to work with suspects, witnesses, and victims as well as learn about the criminal investigation process. I will also get to work with the medical examiner and view autopsies.

I am interested in pursuing an administrative career within a major health system. The UNC Fellowship Program will provide opportunities for me to : (1) gain operational and financial exposure to health care delivery within a nationally competitive health system; (2) acquire a diverse leadership perspective through shadowing and mentorship with Senior Leaders; (3) support UNC operational initiatives by leading at least one significant project that improves patient quality of care within a service line(s). In addition, I hope to learn more about how research interacts with clinical care and gain further insight and to see how the overarching strategy of UNC Health Care interacts with the School of Medicine and medical staff organization. My goal at the end of the Fellowship is to smoothly make the transition to a young leader in health care administration armed with the knowledge and foundation in health care management that I have acquired during the
