Externship Reflection: Whole Health Chiropractic Wellness Center
When I volunteered to take on an externship for my last semester before graduating, I never thought of exactly how much the experience would have such a large impact on how I look at my future. During my 11 months here at Miller-Motte, I endured many hardships in my personal life and I definitely could have taken the easy way out during those times and just skipped out on my externship but I am so thankful that I pushed myself to realize that I can and will complete my program. By completing an externship, students get hands-on experience and teaching that one may never receive from classroom instruction. I believe by completing this externship and applying the knowledge I learned from my textbooks, it has given me the confidence to know that I do possess not all, but at least some of the basic …show more content…

But during my time at Whole Health Chiropractic Wellness Center, I did find that there were some things I had difficulty learning. One of the things that took a while for me to grasp was insurance verification. All insurances are different of course because they have different choices for insurances and one may take a deductible while another does not. Some health insurance companies have an integrated voice response where it tells you over the phone a patient’s eligibility and benefits without speaking to a live representative. There are insurance companies that give your patient information over the internet but you may still have to call to speak to a live representative and of course you have the health insurance companies where there is no option but to speak to a live representative and you must prepare to be on hold for at least 30

    Before I came to Randolph-Macon, I was narrow-minded, not social, and was against coming out of my comfort zone. My mindset before coming to college was that I could come to college for 4 years, coming home almost every weekend, and go right back home and work on the water or work in the office of my parent’s clam and oyster company. Now I have broadened my horizons and see myself doing so much more with my life. Making it through that terrible first week of college, I realized I could make it through anything and handle anything life threw to at…

    My first few weeks of classes at UW-Platteville have surprisingly been fun and brought many opportunities of clubs I did not think I would join. When I imagined going to college for the first time, I thought I would cry and be homesick. To not be homesick I told myself to be involved with the Welcome Weekend activities and it worked! My classes were intimidating on the first day, but now that we have had many classes I am comfortable. I am using my time management skills everyday because I have many meetings to attend. Overall, I am glad I choose to continue my education at UW-Platteville because it feels like home.…

    I feel that I will always be a student because I will never cease to learn. I’ve been successful and unsuccessful in my efforts in my formal education. With each new endeavor I take, I learn something new about myself and what I can handle. One of the biggest things I’ve accomplished was the completion of high school. For me, my high school years were some of my darkest. I was in regular day school or the first two years and because of personal issues spent the last two years on home instruction. Being able to graduate with a high school diploma in the allotted 4 year time span meant so much to me and still does. Another successful experience I’ve had before coming to MCC was obtaining my Medical Assistant Certification. I worked in the field for some time and decisions I made in my life, lead me to give away what I had worked so hard for. The most recent and successful thing I’ve done thus far is coming to MCC. Before enrolling here, I was in a very lost and dark place in my life. I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get out. I was given an opportunity at a second chance and I am going to take full advantage of it this time around.…
