Application Essay: A Career As A Healthcare Administrator

Improved Essays
I have a passion and focus to work within healthcare, more specifically hospital administration. A career in healthcare grants accessibility to assist others in all aspects of life. An administrative role, provides the voice through avenues such as planning, project management, and hospital operations to encourage people to improve their highest quality of life possible. As a public health professional, I believe and understand that individuals are comprised of not only the physical but mental, emotional, and spiritual. Having this perspective, as a healthcare professional, allows me to support organizations in shifting to a population health approach within the areas of patient care and research. This ultimately contributes to properly addressing …show more content…
Thus, I am seeking opportunities to build upon my studies as a public health candidate and further cultivate my interests in strategic planning, hospital/clinical operations, and public health. The Trinity Health Administrative Fellowship equips individuals with tools to serve the health needs of their community; which speaks to my interest in public health. As a fellow, I believe, this opportunity will afford me the ability to apply prior experiences and acquire new skills in preparation to achieve my professional goals as well as build upon my other interests. As Vice President of the MPH class of 2016 at Eastern Virginia Medical School, understanding the needs of the constituents that I serve and being able to identify and mobilize resources to meet those needs has served me well. An important part of these leadership activities is leveraging teams. For example, as part of EVMS’ National Public Health Week activities, our team educated 30 5th grade students on healthy behaviors, doubled public health organization participation, and connected at least 30 MPH students with public health organizations within the Hampton Roads area – all while maintaining a budget of $1,000. If given the opportunity to participate as a Trinity Health Fellow, the greatest benefit will stem from being paired with respected professionals who share the same values as I

    The assignment for unit four has asked that I write a paper outlining some of the key highlights and notable points about the profession that I have chosen to pursue. The more I study and review the career field of a Healthcare Administration, the more excited I get about the possibilities that potentially await me.
