Why Health Serices Management?

Growing up I would go with my parents to every doctor's visit. I went as an interpreter and to make sure my parents were understood. When I turned 18 I became a medical interpeter and an finance assistant. With a 3 month old boy I started College and worked both of my jobs, I soon realized many things about healthcare I had never seen before; Behind the scenes. I went from a patient with asymettry of information to seeing both perspectives. I noticed the staffing shortages, insurance barriers, language barriers, and most importantly cultural barriers.

Seeing first hand what a health administrator could do to help a patient motivated me. I wanted to learn more about how we deliver care to Americans and why we do it that way and how we can do it better. As a senior now I look back on my journey and I am beyond grateful that I learned just that.
