Health Care Internship Reflection

528 Words3 Pages

Please summarize you clinical experience this semester at your internship site and express any final thoughts on transitioning from a student to a health care professional. This journal is due by midnight on July 22nd. This semester interning at Queens Boulevard Endoscopy Center has been rewarding. I am thankful to have been accepted by this center to gain this learning experience. It is sad that I am almost finished completing my hours of interning here. I have made a new family since this internship was where I spent most of my time. I treated it as if it was my second job. I attended my shifts on time and left when I was scheduled to, and reported to my supervisor at all times. This internship was an unpaid one but I was treated fairly to know that if I were taken advantage of. I did exactly what was needed for me to get done out of learning …show more content…

I attended graduation on June 2nd, 2017 but was not happy. I knew that I had to take this class since it was my only requirement left. I was unable to take it a semester earlier since I chose my path a semester later then expected. I now feel a relief of knowing that I have completed all of my undergraduate requirements for health science. It is amazing to know every class that I have taken for this major contributed to my experience at my internship site. I concluded that a little from each class played a role in some way. It was either learning about health policies, electronic health records (health informatics), certain diseases, (epidemiology) marketing/billing (marketing), dealing with the elderly (gerontology) and much more. I can say that everything was worth it. I have learned new things everyday. I have thanked everyone at my internship center for taking the time to train me in exceling with the tasks that I came in here to learn. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Shawn Williams for guiding me through these 4 years at York

    Internship Most physician assistant programs require anywhere between 500-1,000 hours of shadowing a physician assistant and direct patient contact. Direct patient contact can be considered to be working or volunteering as an EMT, Medical Assistant, Medical Scribe, Nurse, Nursing Assistant, etc. In order to fulfill these requirements, I will be taking a Nursing Assistant course over this summer to receive my certification to begin working towards the hours I will need to apply to a program. Once I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), I plan on shadowing physician assistants over the summer from different specialties.

  • MHA Program Reflection

    One of the most important actions that a student can take, is to be honest, and self-reflective, about the level of understanding achieved after completing any course within his/her education career. From my personal view, I feel that this class provided me with a great introduction to the MHA program, and is setting me up for successful in this educational program; but with that being said I would not pretend that I was able to assimilate every concept that was presented in this course, I would definitely need to continue to review the material in this course and on the MHA program overall, so that I could be a knowledgeable, and effective Health Care Manager. When it comes to my ability to discuss the different learning outcomes, I have to say that I definitely acquired a much deeper understanding of the material presented in this course. The materials were not difficult concepts to understand, but sometimes the way the material was delivered made it a difficult task just to read through the information, but as I would imagine, we are trying to achieve an education at a much higher level, which requires the processing and understanding of much more complex information, that sometimes will be

    I 've learned while conducting these interviews that both indivuials have similar issues within the healthcare system. one of the biggest issues both interviewees faces was the cost of healthcare and health insurance coverage. One of the interviewees has a chronic illness, and at times has to decide if she wants to purchase her needed medication or to buy groceries for herself and her family. The other interviewee although employed, doesn 't have health insurance coverage because its too costly every month. it seems they 're both appreciative of the fact there is a somewhat healthcare system with health care providers and professionals available to them, but feels its only available if you have health insurance coverage.

    This week I had the opportunity to spend some time in both the OR and Endoscopy unit. Going into the practice days I was excited and optimistic about what I was going to take away from the experience, as I considered my possible future in working in the operative setting. However, by the second day of practice, I realized that I wasn’t overly excited about either of the units and that the expectations I had set out, didn’t quite match up like I had hoped. Even though I don’t feel as though nursing in either of the units is for me, I was able to take away new knowledge that I believe has enhanced my overall nursing practice.

This included but was not limited to the proper placement of a Foley catheter using sterile techniques, insertion of an NG tube, and assessment of patients. Even though I attempted to complete some of my initial goals for this internship, I noticed that I couldn’t complete a few of them due to lack of time and lack of experience in the field. Therefore, some of my goals that I’ll need to address during the following three weeks include improve my assessment skills, have better communication with my patients, and improve my questioning to get a better understanding of the cause that brought them in.
