During my time as a Sentara intern, I have gained hands-on experience that will be beneficial to my career in healthcare. I performed many administrative duties that improve patient care and health everyday. During the first part of my internship, I have had the opportunity to network with many healthcare professionals. This has allowed me to expand my career options. Networking has allowed me to develop relationships and build confidence. Furthermore, I have assisted in scheduling outpatient rehab appointments, analyzing data of various clinics to ensure we are meeting financial goals, maintaining and updating patient records, assisted in processing patient referrals, collected copay while verifying insurance accuracy, and conducted projects as needed for the clinic. I am committed to ensuring that patients are receiving a positive experience at Sentara. I am thrilled to see where the second half of my internship will take me!
