I really fell in love with risk management through my internship in the Health Services Administration program. It was nice seeing the different aspects of the job. No two days are the same.
Some of our professors worked in hospitals and shared real experiences. Id review my tests with them, and theyd walk me through what I couldve done better. Having that connection and input really helped me.
I never felt lost. Even online, I always had someone to reach out to. The professors in the health services administration program do a great job of making sure students feel supported and connected, and I ended up making some great friendships through the online program, too.
Being full-time can feel like a lot to keep up with, but I was able to do two classes each eight weeks and still maintain full-time status. It just makes the workload more manageable.
I was still able to do my job, be a mom, be a wife, be a caregiver, and do all the other things because I had so much structure through the professors. They are wonderful. They made it doable."
Everything I learned in HSA health care collaboration, finance in healthcare, communication styles, leadership just became more detailed as I got higher up into my education.
