Before deciding where I wanted to do my service learning, I knew I wanted to do something that had some relevance to my degree that I will be receiving in healthcare management. I was eager to gain more experience and become more knowledgeable of how an organization operates as it relates to healthcare management. I was able to secure an opportunity to volunteer at the Dallas Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital. After completing the required VA forms, I got partnered with Mr. Alonzo Price Jr. who is a Management Analyst in Ambulatory Care, which is the department that oversees the Primary Care Providers.
At this point I know that I am confident, I can critically think and independently plan, organize and provide quality care to my patient. I have made a tremendous improvement on medication knowledge, application and administration and these competencies will be demonstrated in my clinical rotation at Holy redeemer. I have also put studying materials and practices that will help me recall and comprehend what I had learn so far to help me finish strong in this course that I have journeyed so
Experiences such as my S.C.A.P.A. membership which granted me the opportunity to network with a diversified workforce of Physician Assistants who attended the annual conference for aspiring P.A.’s. Another attribute was when I worked for Dr. Leslie Pelzer, as her personal assistant. Through those two years of my employment I gained a firsthand insight into the life of a busy doctor. I was able to participate in patient visits by taking vitals, handling the details associated with all of their records, such as requests, the billing, and making the copies. I handled pharmaceutical questions with both the pharmacy as well as the patient. I learned about the different classes of prescription drugs and the various regulations that correlate to each class. Moreover, through my experience as a volunteer at the Barrier Island Free Medical Center, on John’s Island, S.C., I am assured that I made the right choice. Barrier Island’s primary objective is to give healthcare for the under-served residents of John’s Island which is considered a rural part of the surrounding Charleston area. The thing I love most about this clinic is that there is only one person on salary which is the Operations Manager, everyone else is a volunteer, even the physicians! The diversity of its practitioners really gives allows the patients to have options in health care. The doctors who volunteer there are all
My clinical experience for this semester was an opportunity to follow the house supervisor at Trios Healthcare in Kennewick, WA. The courses at Washington State University (WSU) consisting of leadership and management have taught me the value of collaboration as well as communication. With the opportunity to follow the house supervisor I was able to apply this knowledge to my clinical experience. This was especially good because one of my learning objectives was to participate in the management of admissions and transferring patients in the
Harry Feals Maintenance I employed at Pitt at Greensburg for 5 Years witness Statement on behalf of Joy Wisneski RE: 533-2015-01193 Wisneski v University of Pittsburg at Greensburg.
Myself My college background in psychology, family and child development, gerontology, and nursing made this leadership position an excellent fit for me. Ushering in a new model for patient care as it related to our aging population was exactly where I wanted to be. My passion and direction in health care had always been centered on elder care. Working for Boston University Medical Center as a manager for a physician staffed clinic caring for homebound elders was my first foray down this path. Traveling down this exciting new direction in health care I believed would allow me to work within a preventative care model and promote healthy life decisions.
A great area of strength for Dr. Parker is her positive attitude and commitment to advisement. She was easily accessible and available to answer questions about the curriculum. Through her advisement, she served as a mentor, ensuring that students met their academic and professional goals.
For the spring of 2014 I took 4425 SLP Methods and Apps with Joni Loftin and was paired with graduate student Lyndsey Evans for my clinic experience. The class setting gave me a great number of tools to carry over to my clinic experience and the time spent with Lyndsey really forced a connection of understanding and application to the tasks. At the start of the semester it was only required that I observe the sessions. I usually tried to meet with Lyndsey beforehand and she did an outstanding job of explaining what was on the day’s agenda. She also took the time to explain why an activity was being used and how it would help the client progress as well as what technique she would use to elicit the correct sound. She would also give me a list of things I needed to
I conducted my summer fieldwork as a field coordinator for MAPSCorps, a nonprofit at Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center. Their mission is to break down social and economic barriers to healthcare by providing free medical, mental health, and reproductive health services to adolescents. The target population is youth from the ages of 10-22 years old of any race, ethnicity, and gender. Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center has partnered up with MAPSCorps to produce data on community assets to link the community to the health services they need.
My journey across the U.S and ongoing job alongside doctor’s from different countries has made me more culturally diverse and strengthened my ability to be an asset to a team. I am looking forward to working in a program with high-quality training and strong academic curriculum to enhance career prospects and embark on the journey as a responsible
Concerning the central limitations of introspection and behaviorism, I feel that the main limitation was the lack of objective observations. Behaviorism could be measured more objectively than introspection, however, behaviorism still wasn't objective enough for scientists to fully keep around. When addressing introspection specifically, one limitation that I noticed involved the introspectors that were "trained" to look within their own mental lives (Reisberg, 2013). Even though, they were considered professionals back in the day, I don't think any amount of training could eliminate the bias that comes from making observations on yourself. Another obvious limitation with introspection entailed the fact that not all thoughts are conscious (Reisberg,
There were many activities in all three classrooms that connected to the National Core Arts Standards for Music. I chose to connect the standards to all of Mr. Leonhardt’s music classes. Creating In the creating aspect, this applies to fourth grade the most. Mr. Leonhardt is in his Jazz unit with his
Field Experience My first day of observations had finally arrived. Filled with excitement, I opened the doors to Pleasant Ridge Elementary School, and walked into the front office to sign in as a guest for the day. I made my way to the second grade wing to do my first observation for my field experience report. The second grade instructor greeted me as I entered her classroom, with a big bright smile I found made her classroom warm and inviting.

Over two years ago I began working at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, IL as a Medical Staff Services Specialist. It was the most exciting and challenging opportunity I had ever been given in my professional career. One of the incentives of the job discussed during my interview was that I was going to be mentored for a period of time and eventually take over as the Supervisor of Medical Staff Services. I had never held a management position before, and had never been asked to lead a department. I knew right away that this was going to be like nothing else I had ever experienced.
