Introduction
My life has been a non-linear journey, weaving the places I lived, the people I’ve met, the things I’ve learned and the experiences I created into the fabric of who I am. From a young age, I had an affinity for art; envisioning ideas, creating through my hands, executing projects, there wasn’t some form of the fine arts that I didn’t dabble in. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I interviewed for the BOCES Cultural Arts Center in Syosset, a program that fosters the arts at the collegiate level for high school students, that I had a turning point in my academic learning. Foregoing the necessary math requirements in my senior year to make room for this program in my schedule, I transitioned from a student’s role as …show more content…
There were sketches of the human form scattered across the dusty wheel-away chalkboards, as if we interrupted DaVinci in the middle of his next half-finished masterpiece, only to painfully vanish by the deft swipe of Frank’s chalkboard eraser. Except, these impressive drawings were Frank’s doing. On my first day of class, he taught me how to formally scale my drawings, a skill that is absolutely necessary in the foundation of drawing. Scaling your drawing to paper is using your pencil as a guide for measurements and angles. He wouldn’t let me use my trained eye to do so, he wanted to see us engaged in learning. Being above average in visual-spatial intelligence (Gardner, 1983) it did not take me long to master this skill and it left me wanting more constructive feedback. I was beginning to understand the intricacies of how we move, and how this relates to space and time, through shadows and shapes in life and on paper, and how this translates into something remarkable, which fascinated me. You absolutely cannot manifest a figure from a blank canvas without understanding how to draw the …show more content…
Three months after graduation, I sat for my certification exam to become a Registered Health Information Technician. What a relief it was to feel a sense of accomplishment and have all of my hard work come to fruition. I was working for a vendor that provided health information management services to a large health care organization and many smaller outpatient clinics. It was at this job that I had the opportunity to learn different healthcare information systems under my account and learned about tracking data, and troubleshooting complex issues which I will elaborate on in Chapter two of my AOL. Our world has been radically transformed by digital technology and integrating technology in health care is no exception. After the implementation of The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, learning the policies and healthcare information systems has become necessary in my career. The electronic health record (EHR) transformed the way care is delivered in my field. I entered my career at the right time with so much change swirling around the health information management field. Federal law mandated that any health care provider that wants to be reimbursed through Medicaid switch over to an electronic health record.
