Methodist Employment Experience

I got the opportunity to do my internship at Houston Methodist West Hospital. I have been working for Methodist for the past 4 years in our registration department and out of those four years, I have had the opportunity to work with 3 different management teams.

Graduating is very imperative to my life achievements because earning my degree not only increases my earning potential, but I also gain knowledge, expertise, and my ability to grow mentally and physically as a women.

However, none have gone on as long as this project, making it a more realistic example of working on a team. Junior year of college is definitely a crazy time, as we are forced to balance heavy workloads with extracurriculars and recruiting.…
