I say I “agree”, rather than “strongly agree” with this statement, because each new situation in a healthcare setting will pose its own unique challenges for communication. So while I agree that I have the ability to communicate effectively with internal and external customers, as well as the ability to help form productive, professional relationships, I will always be challenged to devise new and better ways of doing these while on the job-floor. To “strongly agree” that I have these abilities seems, to me, to be a bit to presumptuous, especially at such an early point in my career.

All of this learning has given me a deeper sense of what managers and providers must do, to only provide a service, but sustain their healthcare organization’s operations.

I “agree” that I can apply basic business principles to the healthcare environment, though (again) I always find room for improvement. I am able to utilize the talents, expertise, and motivations of those I work with to achieve the desired aim in my organization. I am able to help maintain and influence the organizational dynamics of an organization to ensure its success. I am able to design and assess policies within a healthcare organization. And I am certainly able to strategically plan the conduct of myself, and/or the organization I
