Working at Department of Family Medicine had been such a massive stepping stone of my career. Prior to this internship my knowledge was not to where it is now, I have learned the theory part of the job inside a classroom but out here it is a different world. It is a world where what I have learned in a classroom cold have not prepared me for the job. It has been an eye opener for me personally to how the real world operates.

During my time I have been fortunate enough to work alongside the Physicians and MA's to help patients. This research has given me a chance to asses and make changes to help patients better their lives. It gave me an opportunity to learn different kinds of data's, program’s, and exposure to what a healthcare facility looks like.

Without going too deep because I want to keep the integrity of a hospital facility, from this experience I plan to take the positives and add more to them plus the negatives as a learning curve and improve on them.

As I have mentioned earlier, what I have learned in a classroom could not prepare me for what I have experienced during my internship. That being said there are courses that I am glad I took because I was not new to some of the things that went during my time. If I have to list this courses my first two would be

Management of Health Services Organization
Medical Group Management

This two courses helped me navigate through some of the ups ans downs during my internship.
