Personal Statement On Health Administration

I was nine years old when my family made the stannous decision to come to America; with only a few clothes and barely any money, the pursuit of the American dream seemed more like a fantasy than anything else. Ever since I was young, I was drawn to the medical field. Looking back, it all appears as a nightmare now: a cold room, no electricity, and my parents imploring for the nurses help. Yet this nightmare was my firsthand experience at the detrimental effects of a limited healthcare. Growing up in a poor town of Albania, I faced minor health concerns, but it wasn’t until I got sick with a common cold that my life almost ended. The unsanitary hospital condition and the lack of medications were part of the sad reality I could not escape from. Thus today, it is my goal to make a significant contribution to the health of the future generations. My passion for the medical field combined with my determination on building and perpetuating an outstanding healthcare service, has lead me to pursue a master’s degree in Health Administration

During the month of January, I had the opportunity to work at Riverside Medical Group to see what it was like to work in the healthcare industry. I learned many things about healthcare while at

I felt like my dreams were slowly being fulfilled before my eyes. I wanted to pursue the medical field in depth and see which type of medical career was best for me. I have been persistent and motivated and this pushed me to achieve my Medical Assistant Certification in June 2006 when I graduated from Clara Barton for Health Professions High school.

Health care administration is a professional challenging environment with some of the most critical issues and problems in our society. Health care administration combines my knowledge and experience in business and health care. My accomplishments are a result of my ability to assess situations, generate a plan of action, and work the plan. Following is my plan of action for my career in health care:

I found the program to be well rounded in the health care field and I am happy that I chose to continue with this program as an entry into the health administration field. This program has given me more opportunity to prepare an entrance into a professional environment of being of service in various health facilities and agencies, clinics and hospitals. The responsibility of the health administrator will encompass a wide variety of duties including but not limited to administrative, medical, legal and ethical requirements and brilliantly combines the overall knowledge of the business administration and the health care system.

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.

“Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose,” Oprah Winfrey. My passion leading me to a degree in healthcare management has been the love I have for my son. Becoming a single mother, shortly before my son turned two-years-old, was life altering. Moving back in with my family, realizing I had no income, and no longer the team effort from his father, was an indescribable sense of failure as a parent.

I have had a passion for becoming a healthcare provider for children for quite a while (for a long time). Children are one of the most important individuals of society because they are the future and will one day be in charge of the world. Their health at a young age is indicative to how their health will be as adults. Childhood has a great effect on how a person turns out to be so I hope to help children I hope to use prevention and education to preserve and restore the health of my patients. My career goals are to prevent children from having to spend time in hospitals or in pain and to help them live out their life and dreams to the fullest extent. Children play a very large role in their families, and when a child becomes sick, the whole family becomes distressed. Pediatricians not only heal children, but they help and prevent a family from suffering. I love medicine and children, and I hope to combine these two passions by becoming a pediatrician.

Health care administration is a very important and crucial role in today’s healthcare system. With an ever-changing national health care system, the role of a Health care Administrator or Healthcare Executive more than ever is needed. Healthcare facilities, organizations, and or offices rely on health care administrators to plan, direct and coordinate all medical health services (United States Department of Labor , 2014). Some areas where one might find administrators are managing entire medical facilities, specialized clinical departments, or a medical practice for a group of physicians (United States Department of Labor , 2014). The need for high-quality health care administers is more now than ever with the fast-changing health care laws.

I’m still not 100% what I want to do after obtaining my degree, but a Health Coach is something I have strong interest in. A Health Coach helps clients to cultivate a healthier lifestyle. Many of their duties include, assessing a client’s current health conditions, developing goals, providing counseling services, treatment meals, health screening and tracking client’s progress. Health Coaches play a huge role in a person’s life by being a positive and educational influence in their daily lives, and could save and prolong lives.

Healthcare management is a great, complex, and dynamic field. Like any business, healthcare requires exceptional administration to keeps its operations effective and smooth. Notably, the healthcare field is constantly growing, calling for the expertise of skilled administrators with the capacity to manage hospitals. Since my childhood, I have enjoyed solving problems, helping people, caring about the community and individuals, and having an excellent compensation and growth opportunities.

As a health administrator I would use the information to draw up a proposal to directly focus on the areas where the most help is needed. I would make sure that my organization understands the clear vision that we have which is to getting adequate healthcare to those who suffer from mental illness. I would also look into setting goals and timelines for department to meet to help with keeping up with progress. The next step in the process is to brainstorm and to see if there is any market that we can tap into to help us generate awareness or financial backing that have not been looked into before. As it pertains to resource allocation I would team up with community business to higher individuals who suffer from mental illness so that they can

Like every other young person trying to find himself and his purpose in life, I was confused. Being a 15 year old kid, moving from one city to the next after almost every 2 years with my father, everything looked transient and temporary. I had to give up my school, my friends and my comfort zone whenever we had to move. I dreaded it. But my father made me look at it with a whole other perspective. He instilled in me a regard for the constants in one's life and what bigger constant than health and life itself. My father taught me to be committed to whatever I put my mind to. He juggled between an office job, evening classes at the law school, appearing in the judicial exams and then acing them. He is my greatest source of inspiration, strength and virtue. That is why it shook me to my core when I saw him lose all hope when diagnosed with hepatitis only to be rejuvenated later when the doctor assured him to be there for him no matter what. To be able to be there for someone when they are at their most vulnerable and help them through some of the most difficult times of their lives really fascinated me. I saw the healing powers that a doctor's words carry. Amongst all this, I believe being a doctor came naturally to me.

At the start of the semester, in the list of subjects was listed one course entitled PH186: Health Policy and Administration. For a person with a mind somewhat already set on taking on medicine after graduation, this is one of the subjects that I thought I’ll just let breeze through. At first glance, health policy and administration reminds me of high profile people in suits and blazers, just sitting on the desk giving out the shots. One might say that I already connected the notion of a politician to the idea of policy and administration. In my mind, health policy is just drafting some laws or memorandums of certain guidelines and making laws that I know not everyone will follow. Administration is just another synonym for bossing people around to follow certain rules and algorithms. Never did I think that it was something more, something more intricate and something that would irk my interest. I didn’t know that there was more to health policy and administration that I knew. There was so much about it that I didn’t know yet, and this subject opened my eyes to a world I previously didn’t consider.

Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending
