Internship Beginnings

Published March 27, 2009 7:54 AM by Travis Bankhead
So I've been working at my internship for 2 weeks and my schedule has been jammed to the max. I have been working in and out of the office mostly with the implementation team. I've been able to go out to three different practices for some QA issues with the users and to do a system check before the practice receives their training and has their go live. Last week I was also able to go to a practice with the director of implementation to do a practice assessment in order to create the workflow analyses.

All of us also were able to go into NYC last Friday for the eCW users' conference. It was mostly all doctors there who use eClinical Works, but some members from our company went because that is the EMR that we deal with the most. It was informative and a good time to get out and get to go to the city, even though we had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to catch our train. Other than that I have been in countless meetings, conference calls and Web meetings all dealing with EMRs and other related issues. Hopefully I continue to stay busy and keep learning a lot while I'm here.

This field of study seems to get bigger as I learn it. You seem to be doing very well in it. Do you have any good advice for me stating out that can help me get to where I need to be?  I'm in my first year of college at my Third Term anything you have to say would be helpful.

You are working really hard trying to get acquinted in the field or practice. However, the internship program has done you well by exposing you to such a high height. Keep on your good work.
