First, my personality as an organized person allows me to plan and complete tasks quickly while collaborating with other individuals. I am good at getting job done, being flexible to new ideas and respecting other people and their culture. For example, I have set deadlines to initiate, implement, and review a patient engagement survey I conducted. I think I have been able to conduct the activities and manage time wisely.
I believe multicultural sensitivity that I demonstrate as an individual is one of other strengths that I am able to contribute towards the mission of the clinic.

Also, I think I will need to learn about the electronic health record software such as Greenway because most health care organizations use similar
