My practice operations internship at IU Health GI and Hepatology was the most important experience in my academic journey. I am so grateful that I was able to work with them and learn as much as I did. Shadowing all of the different administrative positions was eye opening and taught me so much about what the day to day operations look like.

​

Another important thing about my internship is how many projects I was able to help or work on by myself. I was able to experience what it would be like to be a full time worker rather than an intern. My supervisor was always their to help and that provided a comfortable learning experience.

​

I also was also able to participate in weekly meetings for metric improvement in our department. This gave me the experience of working with a team that is trying to create a shared vision. I was also a part of the 3 day retreat that sets the goals for the weekly meeting every year. 

​

Overall this internship was incredible for my academic journey and it gave me confidence in what I wanna do for my career. This department gave me a great learning environment and I am excited to use what I have learned in the future.
