Someone once told me, nothing is impossible so long as you have determination and motivation by your side. California State University Northridge has prepared me to study and excel in a demanding academic environment. My most challenging time was when I had to balance three group projects, four finals, two clinical internships and work. With all these obligations, I managed to create an effective outlook on the situation while managing not to cut corners in any of my anticipated responsibilities. I planned my schedule accordingly to provide myself with enough time for each task at hand, as well as unexpected circumstances. Being a quick learner helped tremendously when things became demanding at my internships and work. Through it all, I became …show more content…

These new skills will be applied towards cultural sensitivity, team management, advocacy, effective protocols, mentoring staff, and more improvements to the health care services through UC Davis, California, and hopefully around the globe. Most importantly, UC Davis’ philosophy of service to others depicts a fundamental matte as it reflects my own personal values to provide compassionate and competent health care to

Education. It is a vital source needed in order to succeed. Though many schools offer a basic education, there are not many that offer the advanced level of learning that ASMSA provides. While attending ASMSA, I hope to be taught at a higher level that better suits my standards. ASMSA will give me the prospect to learn at a level that I can use to challenge myself to better my future.
Since the inauguration of my health care career at Keck Medicine of USC, I knew there would be no other academic institution that could better prepare me to excel at becoming a leader amongst the health care community. I have inquired with multiple USC hospital employees about the EMHA program, and all have spoken with high regards that USC offers an excellent healthcare administration master’s degree. I hope to be challenged intellectually while developing leadership skills necessary to mature into a successful leader. My work experience has prepared me to undertake the challenges that would be associated with remaining a full time employee at USC while pursuing an Executive Master of Health Administration.
Last Sunday at church Father Ron said something that hit home for me. He said that a mission begins with an invitation. I grew up in a rural area in the highlands of Nairobi, Kenya. Life was not easy and I always made a point of maximizing the opportunities I got. I grew up knowing that I wanted to be in a profession that really helped people improve their wellbeing. When I got the opportunity to go to university I choose to do Biomedical Science because I was very good at science and I thought that being a scientist was my calling. However, becoming an adult and having varying experiences like volunteering in a children’s home, working in the field doing research, working in a laboratory and currently working as a nurse aide has taught me

I chose leadership in Health Care Policy and Education as my area of specialization for my Masters in Nursing because it would help in achieving my career objectives, that is, to advance my nursing career through professional development of self by engaging in long life learning through continuing education in graduate school. Also, to assume leadership role in the use of evidence based research to develop healthy public policy and contribute to population health. I will be able to gain an advance understanding into current issues affecting health care, how healthcare policies are
Experiencing hardships and my resilience to overcome them is the main reason I chose to pursue a Master’s of Social Work (MSW) degree. My familiarity with asking for resources, as a former foster youth, a number of my interactions involved social workers. I utilized resources as a transition aged youth; and I believe it was those same resources that kept me focused on my future and school. I became homeless at eighteen years of age and it was transitional housing, through The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) that gave me hope and direction.
Above the requirement of my master’s degree program to complete an administrative residency for a period of 9 to 12 months, my decision to pursue a fellowship at a hospital was based on the educational and professional opportunities the program provides. The practical experience and exposure across the organization will truly lay the groundwork for a successful career and bridge the gap between academic theory and technology and practical application. Leadership is an applied skill, but too often, it is left to chance as something to be picked up on the job. Progressing as a successfully leader requires more. The fellowship will provide opportunities to develop and strengthen my leadership skills, which will maximize my level of contribution in a permanent entry-level position and increase my marketability significantly.

Although there are numerous reasons as to why I wish to attend this medical institution, its emphasis on serving underserved demographic groups such as African-Americans and addressing health disparities that continuously affect the state of health in our nation were primary motivations for applying to Meharry Medical College. Following residency, I hope to practice medicine in a disadvantaged urban community, where affordable, accessible, and available healthcare options are limited. In such a community, I hope to utilize my medical education gained from Meharry for the purpose of addressing the health concerns and disparities affecting those in society who are often ignored and suffer in all
In this paper, I will inform you about issues in globalization, power, followership and cultural change in the perspective of a health leader. I will identify three major health issues that are global but has the potential to affect the United States health care system. I will describe these global health issues influence health leaders. I will relate global leadership with transformational leadership. I will illuminate three elements of cultural and diversity within health care organizations. You will find a table of cultural attributes to be made aware of. I will categorize the differences in global leadership according to power, technology, and knowledge management and will explain two
I have been accepted and decided to attend Lindenwood University- Belleville, beginning in the Fall of 2017. The college I have chosen is very close to home and has an excellent Nursing program. I intend to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree as my first step to eventually become a Certified Nurse Practitioner, specializing in Pediatric Psychiatry. I have been fascinated by all areas of medicine from a very young age and the interest has only grown over the years. I took my first psychology class this year and I love learning about the mind and why humans think the way they do.
A country’s economy and well-being depends upon how strong its healthcare system is. A country would grow into a stronger nation if the people are mentally and physically stronger. Moreover, healthcare systems are usually complex and complicated systems and thus, they need a lot of attention. As Donley (2005) states, “[t]he changing patterns of health care delivery have increased complexity in all practice environments” (p. 314). By a complicated system, it means how different healthcare organizations together play a pivotal role in measuring success of a country’s healthcare system. These healthcare organizations further rely on various departments within the system which are in turn led by various leaders. Thus, it is evident how leaders are the key link in deciding the fate
I am interested in pursuing an administrative career within a major health system. The UNC Fellowship Program will provide opportunities for me to : (1) gain operational and financial exposure to health care delivery within a nationally competitive health system; (2) acquire a diverse leadership perspective through shadowing and mentorship with Senior Leaders; (3) support UNC operational initiatives by leading at least one significant project that improves patient quality of care within a service line(s). In addition, I hope to learn more about how research interacts with clinical care and gain further insight and to see how the overarching strategy of UNC Health Care interacts with the School of Medicine and medical staff organization. My goal at the end of the Fellowship is to smoothly make the transition to a young leader in health care administration armed with the knowledge and foundation in health care management that I have acquired during the
The novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is a timeless classic with many themes and lessons portrayed by the characters that readers of all generations can relate to. The story follows the children, Scout and Jem, along with their father, Atticus Finch, who is asked to defend a Black male accused of raping a White female. During the 1930s, the Black male, Tom Robinson, stood no chance, even if he was truly innocent. In reality, the case was already decided before it even started. After the case Mr. Robinson made an unfortunate decision that still kept people's views on Black people the same. Today we even see National Football League players kneeling during the national anthem to protest still a big problem in the world today: racism. The theme of racism in To Kill a Mockingbird, shown by the novel’s characters and their responses, is an issue that can be seen and related to in today’s society.
