Good News All Around
So this week was a very monumental week. First the election was very exciting being that we elected our first African American President. I'm very excited and proud of our country for making an excellent choice, in my opinion. We had a nice discussion in one of my classes about how we felt this would affect us in the health care industry and whether it was good or bad.
Also, I recently learned that I got accepted for my externship in New York. I will be going there with three of my classmates to work for a company who does EHR implementation in physician settings. It's a very exciting opportunity and I am thankful that we will be getting 5 weeks of hands on experience with such a great company. I am also started to plan for my senior project, which I am doing with my friend Cristin. We are working on the educational side of HIM and how we can promote the major and get out the word to other students. We will be focusing on undergrads who are in related majors and may want to switch, undecided majors, and local high school students who are looking at colleges and what majors would be a good fit for them.
This weekend I will continue to be working on my 20 hour project as well as studying for my law midterm on Monday, and I know it's going to be extremely hard. I better get going and start cracking the books.
