    Lessons I have learned from this interview with Ronald G. Spaeth, as a graduate student in healthcare administration by reading about Mr. Spaeth’s education, awards and career accomplishments. For instance, Spaeth received a Gold Medal Award for his outstanding contributions as a leader in healthcare. I have learned that receiving a great award can start a successful career. Though, receiving an award is a part of career success. Completing an earned degree in business administration, and/or another Master’s degree is another great start for a professional successful career. Mr. Speath’s career goals were met by his educational background and work experience. I have learned that career success takes effectively working with students, leaders…

    On wednesday at the Internship I went into the classroom to watch, a presentation she was doing to the participants, it was about making goals. So she gave out some package to the participants where they had to write three goals these were supposed to be their short term goals, plus that they needed to write about at least three ways to accomplish these goals. After they wrote their long terms goals. I think that being in the class and hearing the participants talking about what their goals are and how they are going to accomplish these goals, this had a positive impact on me, because I thought about what are my goals for example graduate from the college I'm enrolled right now, I know what steps I need to take in order to accomplish that phase of my life, but I began to think about my future goals and what steps I should take to be able to accomplish them, so I was like I never thought I had to at least think of different ways to reach my goals, and I think that is a smart strategy, because you should have at least three ways to accomplish your goals in case one of those way don't work, you know you have others ways to reach them.…

    The discipline I have chosen to study is Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Management. Health and Social Care systems are undergoing major changes worldwide. The health-care industry dominates in terms of creation of new jobs. The reasons for this are not hard to decipher. One need only examine demographic trends to notice the continued aging of the general American population as well as the bumper crop of baby boomers now moving into their golden years. Healthcare managers are also commonly referred to as Healthcare Executives or Administrators. These professionals manage their healthcare organization and ensure that the business runs efficiently. They manage personnel, oversee budgets, handle medical records and ensure compliance with federal privacy laws. Healthcare executives are professionals who are similar to everyday CEOs of private corporations. What an administrator does depends on the type and size of facility at which they are working. Large facilities, such as medical centers, have several layers of administrators with one officer at the top responsible for setting the direction and making the final decisions. That person typically reports to a board of directors. Small facilities more characteristically require generalists to oversee all aspects of the operation. Typically, these administrators handle financial decisions and answer to the chief executive officer. Mathematical modeling expertise helps develop complex models that meet the needs of research projects to maintain the financial part of the hospital running efficiently. The healthcare industry is overloaded with mathematical applications from the decision making computer programs to statistical information to maximize patient care. Running health and social care systems efficiently and effectively is crucial to improving or even maintaining our quality of life. Over the years, extensive research has been conducted to find immediate and long-term solutions…
