COS Internship: Pediatric Associates Prof., LLC & Montrose Memorial Hospital
The Colorado Department of Education defines "Professional" using the following descriptors:
time & work management
career literacy
grit and resilience
work ethic; dependable and reliable
My personal definition: In my opinion, professionalism is not just wearing a black suit and tie or nice dress with heels; instead; I think it means, responsibility, accountability, and integrity. It means communicating effectively and appropriately and always finding a way to be productive. It means the way you try to be professional, how you achieve it.
Career Q&A
Question 1: What's your name and title?
Anna Lovato /Medical Assistant
Question 2: How did you choose the career you're in?
"I really like working with kids, so I applied to work here at the pediatrics. Prior to that I had worked as a medical assistant for about 2 years so I just trained on the job and gained more experience with the knowledge I had already gained by taking some classes at CMU"
Question 3: What are somethings you do at your job?
I take vitals on little kids, blood pressure, height, weight, heartbeat and respirations. We also do vaccines or injections, and we also administer oral medications as well.
Question 4: if you could go back to the beginning of your career what would you do differently?
"I don't think so. I really like where I'm at. I really didn't have to go to school for this position even though you can if you would like. A lot of places hire with prior experience from what I've gotten myself into but it's really your choice"
Question 5: Any advice you would give to soeone going into this career?
"I think my advice would be make sure it's really what you want to do especially with poking children. I think that honestly the hardest part of the job but at the end of the day you have to remember that your helping making them feel better and it's going to help they stay healthy"

Reference Letter
Extra Credit: Reference Letter (Dec 11, 2023 at 1:50 PM).pdfQuestion 6: What makes you successful?
"I think what makes me successful is knowing that I’m content where I am at with my job, knowing that i'm young and I’m able to work at this position and knowing that I can still go back to school for a high position because the time is going to pass anyways"
Question 7: Any advice to me?
"Keep doing what you're doing, you're really smart Mercedes. I definitely feel like you caught on very quickly here, you're very helpful. I would say take your Spanish with you because you can use it. You are bilingual and a lot of people need bilingual interpreters, and even in the medical field it helps make the patient very comfortable with you when you are able to speak their language."
