"When I was working at General Hospital, I had the opportunity to participate in the development of a new online portal. I learned a lot about new behaviors and expectations in the healthcare industry. With the evolution of the internet and digital applications, I think healthcare providers will be including more and more connectivity apps in their patient care management. This process allows patients to have more access to their provider to strengthen the patient-doctor relationship." I believe that in the healthcare field, education never really ends. It is part of our job to stay up-to-date about new developments in our field. Therefore, I subscribe to several scientific newsletters like Kaiser Health and NIH News in Health, and I take continuing education courses at a local community college. Elderly patients value their independence, and I like to help them achieve it by providing the best occupational therapy. I also think it is essential to talk with them and provide good company during my shift because they are often lonely. I take the time needed to listen to my older patients." Since I was a child, I wanted to help people. I remember putting bandages on my little brother when he would fall and feeling a strong sense of responsibility for his care. It was not hard to pick a direction for college; I knew I wanted to heal patients. I graduated from Florida Career College last summer with honors, and I am really excited to start my career."
