Summary: A Career As An Assistant Resident Assistant

The medical profession I’ve recently decided to pursue was a certified medical assistant. You will need some type of plan before you decide to pursue in anything. It could be as simple as writing down your short and long term goals on a piece of paper .In my case, I always have something that motivates me because that will help me stay focused on achieving my goals. My motivation is knowing I will wake up to something I love doing on a daily basis once I get my career started. There are a few steps I will need to take to achieve my goal in becoming a medical assistant.

While writing about oneself might be one of the hardest things for some of us to do, I'm sure that figuring out the personality of the person behind the words might be equally as hard. So I'll try to make this as simple yet as comprehensive as possible. I was born in Austria to Somali parents and grew up in Saudi Arabia, went to med school in Sudan and am finally here to practice medicine in Canada. So as you might see, the common question 'Where are you from?' takes a little longer for me to answer as do other Somali refugees around the world and am glad to finally find a place I can truly call home.

My chosen degree program is Associates of Applied Science in Medical Assisting at Kaplan University. I am currently a online student. I have been doing some research of my program and I have came up with a lot of very interesting facts. First the median salary for a Medical Assistant is $28,860 per year that is about $13.87 a hour, that was in May 2010. There could be opportunities it maybe higher, For example, the experience you may have, or the facility you are working in, and even the level of the education that you have (/www. .bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/medical-assistants.htm).

Medical assistants play an important role in health care facilities. They are mostly depended on by patients, doctors, and nurses. Employers are looking for healthcare professionals who are generalist. Being a generalist is one of my main goals in healthcare. I enrolled in the Medical Assisting program here at Fortis because I felt that this would be a great start for my career.

“Medical assisting is one of the nation’s careers growing much faster than average for all occupation...” (What is a Medical Assistant? 2017). A medical office assistant is a licensed professional that work in a healthcare setting such as a physician's office, hospital, and clinics. They are the first medical staff professionals that have contact with the patient to help gather their information such as insurance information, or personal. Medical office assistant can also perform the job duties of a medical assistant which is more of the clinical side of it. To become a medical office assistant certain requirements must be met beforehand. Once the educational level requirement is achieved, you will then proceed to look for jobs in different

Being involved groups is essential to everyday living and many of us will belong to a variety of groups at the same time. For example, families, social, sports, support, learning management and committees groups. A group is “a small, face-to-face collection of persons who interact to accomplish some purpose” (Schriver, 1998). In other words, a group is collection of diverse people with common characteristics or purpose. A group can consist of any number of people from any number of races, ethnicities, culture, age, and or religious background. People involved in groups interact, engage, support, and identify with each other and are aware of each other in the group, often meet regularly at pre-determined destinations and times. The people involved

On Wednesday, March 09, 2016 at approximately 7:30 p.m. Resident Assistant (RA) Jessica Estrada, Resident Assistant (RA) Christina Mbadie, Resident Assistant (RA) Phuong Phung, Resident Assistant (RA) Miki Sylva, Resident Assistant (RA) Keva Evans, Resident Director (RD) Krystol Myers, and Janneal Pennant were in the second floor lobby for their weekly active. Resident Kyle Palani Canacunga was passing by with a shopping cart. RD Krystol approached Kyle and kindly asked him if she could take the cart because they were now only allowed to be out during check in and check outs. Kyle then refused to comply and started raising his voice trying to convince RD Krystol that he would bring the cart back. RD Krystol explained to Kyle that the privilege for the carts had been lost due to people taking them and not bringing them back. Kyle then stated, “You know me, I am going to bring it back.” RD Kyrstol explained to him that it will not be fair for other residents if she allowed him to use the cart. Kyle then said, “This is bullshit, Krystol.” Then he walked away.

People have told me that I have a certain aura about me that people felt comfortable and felt at ease. My sophomore year at Nevada I became a Resident Assistant and this aura that people felt made it easy for me to connect with my residents and assist them in their struggles that they were facing. Taking this job I had learned so much and had grown tremendously from it. Many people think an RA to be the police of the residence hall but for me that was not the case. I wanted to help the students get acclimated to the university and aid them in their times of need. I was not just busting students for alcohol but I was trying to help them be safe. Student came to me for advice from heartbreak of a loved one, to suicidal thoughts and depression.

Career field of the medical assistant. As the medical field advances, career opportunities in healthcare become increasingly diverse. Even outside the clinic, there are many ways to make a living while supporting the healthcare needs of the community. While clinical positions involve direct patient care, non-clinical jobs focus on administration, sales, and other important behind the scenes activities. A medical assistant may take place within or outside of the clinical setting. Medical assistants may support physicians and nurses in patient care, but they may also specialize in accounting, record keeping, insurance processing, or diagnostic laboratory procedures. In some states there is no specific coursework for this job; most require a

When a patient is admitted into a hospital, it is vital for him to trust his caretaker and to feel comfortable. The one person that can help the patient in this way is a physician assistant. For a physician assistant to become successful, he or she must display the intellectual qualities of a physician and the nurturing qualities of a nurse. A physician assistant requires a wide skills range, proper education, potential employment options, and the personal qualities to become successful.

As a student manger in the residential hall I worked with four residential assistants to create life skills programs for the 150 residents.

Serving as a Resident Assistant is a position that requires leadership. This campus needs more leadership from students. There is a lack of energy in this school. Events are put on, and are organized well, but there is no leadership from students to show up or to announce them. As an RA, I would make sure everyone in my hall knows about upcoming events. This is important because the more people who know, the more will show up. Once students begin to show up to events, the more unity we have as a culture.

Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of working in a hospital. My dream was to be a doctor or a nurse. In the fall of 2014, I became a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). During the experience of volunteering at a nursing home, I realized that direct patient contact was not my calling. I researched many websites on the Internet and found that Health Information Technology would be the perfect job for me. This career mostly involves a hospital setting and clerical work, which I thoroughly enjoy doing.

Many years ago I was a Navy hospital corpsman and had been trained in Navy search rescue and as I in-flight medical technician. I was sent to a small Medical Clinic in the Deep South with 5 other search and rescue corpsman. There never been that many search and rescue corpsman for that facility. The norm was 1 or 2 and our duties would be conducted on the Flightline for aircrew duties.

I am interested in the Research Associate Internship program because it will allow me to be competitive in a meaningful career, build professional skills, and give me more of a chance to succeed in my higher education. For example, my professional goal is to become a Physician Assistant, because I want to assist physicians in curing illnesses, alleviating pain, and helping patients to have better futures. By joining the medical field, I hope to serve our community more. To get a further understanding of the medical field, I volunteered at the Maimonides Medical Center for five months and had a great experience connecting with patients. As a patient representative, I was provided the chance to visit patients’ rooms at the surgical unit, where
