Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Medical Receptionist And Assistant

In my time volunteering at the hospital, I hope to gain many different experiences. However, there are a few main ones: adaptation through enrichment and dependability. First of all, I want to get to know and adapt to the environment of the hospital and learn how different processes work. This is a crucial part of being in the atmosphere of a clinic. Also, the experiences that I will have at the hospital will help me to understand the routines and entailments of the career I would like to pursue. I hope to become a Physician’s Assistant in the future and this will be the best way to know if it is the right position for me. This enrichment of my understanding will help guide my passion for this career path and hopefully strengthen it.

The career I became interested in is a Physician’s Assistant, or a few people call them PAs. I became interested in this job in my sophomore year of high school. It all started when I attended the STEM fair after school one day. STEM fair is only offered to students who are in either the biomedical Stem academy or the engineer academy. At this fair, students tour around to different classrooms to acquire information on different careers. I attended the Physician’s Assistant one, where there was an actual PA to give information on what PAs achieve. For example, PAs examine patients for diseases, injuries and illnesses.

In the Fall of 2014 I became an RA, Resident Assistant, a position longed for since I entered as a student at Landmark College, a college for students with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. I went into the job aspiring to help other students and build upon the close knit and friendly community that was already in place. My job was to ensure the safety and security of all residents, refer students to appropriate services on campus, and run and plan programs alongside two other RA’s and a Resident Dean.

During my 9 years of experience as a Medical Assistant, I have gone through many different situations and have learned how to handle my patients as well as my co-workers. I have excellent relationships with my patients. Loyalty, dedication, and hard working are some of my plus

I believe that through medicine I would be able to put other people’s needs before my own, and continue caring and making a difference in people’s lives. As a newly certified nurse aide (CNA), I have been able to begin this journey. As a CNA, I get to leave work knowing that I directly made an impact on someone else’s life. Not only has becoming a CNA changed my patient’s lives but it has also changed mine for the better. They give me the opportunity to constantly challenge myself, build relationships with them, and develop new skills. In the time that I have been a CNA I have had the opportunity to develop many different qualities including: adaptability, compassion, emotional stability, patience, and problem-solving skills. Each of these skills I find to be important qualities that every PA should

Volunteer work has always been a prominent activity that occurred within my life. Growing up with a father that was involved in the community so much that it felt like it was his job, I was always surrounded by community service and helping others. At the young age of six years old, I decided to do my part as well, feeding the homeless in a local church in New Bedford, Massachusetts. From that year on, I believe a majority of my most valuable characteristics derived directly from my volunteer work. Now, almost thirteen years later, I am involved in over 100 hours of community service per year and am ready to apply it into a new field- as a Resident Assistant.

Looking at this scenario as a patient point of view, the medical assistant should have done a couple things differently. One of the examples would be not to bite off the tip of her glove. The MA doesn’t know what could have been on that glove, plus it was already touching the patient where there was open skin. Instead of biting of the tip of the finger the MA should have properly removed the gloves. That goes to another unprofessional thing, if the MA saw that the ladies veins were hard to find, she should have prepared them before applying the gloves and cleaning the arm. If she still wasn’t able to get them to be noticeable, maybe try to see if someone else could come help. Another unprofessional thing would be using her bare hands to try

Week two has ended and the stability of being able to work with CI for the entire week was present. From this week until the end of my clinical affiliation we will share the same schedule this has its ups and downs as she also works weekends and holidays which I guess is the hospital life of a physical therapist assistant. To develop and get the most out of this clinical site from week to week my CI has me right 3 or 4 goals which we both take serious and try to attain by the end of each week. This type of environment is still not the one that I plan to venture in but I am doing my best to take each day one at a time and learn what I can during my

I am 20 years old, going to college for Medical Office Assistant. I plan on hopefully having my medical office job in the next two years with my little family and be married.

Today was tedious. I was assigned two patients to do a chart review of. I did not write down some key diagnosis because I thought it was not important. The most difficult part of this task for me was figuring out which information is important for the evaluation. We went to see our patients for the day. The highlight of my day was seeing a patient who already knew what occupational therapist does. She was the first patient who knew what occupational therapist does, and she gave a short and straight to the point definition. I was truly impressed. I wrote four evaluations today and I forgot some information that I could not remember or put into words. Goal writing is easier in this setting as oppose to in class. All of the goals were occupation

Massachusetts Amherst and Resident Life is important because I am now more of an influential standard for my peers to follow. As a result, the ways in which I act and carry myself, have become more positive and have enabled me to further understand my capacity as an overall leader. As a student who aspires to become a lawyer, the experiences and qualities I have learned from my fall and spring semester, as a Resident Assistant, has allowed me to grow tremendously. For instance, the position required me learning how to be a better leader. I learned how to be a more adaptive, dependable, communicative, organized, and culturally aware team player. It is for

In my current position as the nurse of Coastal Carolina Integrated Medicine, I exercise ownership and compassion to promote patient satisfaction. My prior position as a medical assistant, at Dr. Zukoski’s office, afforded me opportunities to develop and refine my customer service, telephone etiquette, interpersonal, time management, and Microsoft Office skills. These skills enable me to successfully perform clerical duties. I made it a point to gain work experience while in school, thus demonstrating a solid work ethic. My academic courses helped me to acquire a vast knowledge of management skills, as well as healthcare policies and procedures. I am adept at business troubleshooting and problem-solving, along with management related issues

My background includes 10 years of working in a hospital setting. I started out as a unit clerk at Midwest Regional Medical Center and was promoted to Charge Auditor Supervisor during my employment. I was responsible for correcting any mistakes on patient’s charts before the account was sent to the billing department. I gained experience as a clinic representative for St. Anthony Oncology Clinic. I was responsible for scheduling patients for appointments, treatments, and tests; and served as a liaison between patient and all medical staff.

Once I complete my training as a Physician Assistant, I want to use my clinical skills to improve healthcare delivery to underserved populations. My passion and commitment to this endeavor stems from my own experience as an African American male growing up in a underserved population. I knew from an early age that the environment that I was growing up in was not a healthy one and I fully understood when my father moved our family to a more suburban environment. Although we were moving to a better environment, I felt a deep sense of sadness that I was losing my friends and abandoning my home. My core motivation toward helping underserved populations stems from my belief that there is hope for those communities and the people who live in them.
