What do you enjoy most about being in the healthcare industry?
One of the biggest joys and revelations I've had in my 10 years in healthcare is realizing that it takes everyone to make healthcare run. When you grow up watching shows like *Gray's Anatomy* and *ER*, and everyone in nursing school is pre-med, you think hospitals are run by just nurses and doctors.
But there are so many skill sets involved. On the clinical side, you have doctors and nurses, but also physical therapists, respiratory therapists, anatomical laboratory scientists, and clinical laboratory staff. I didn't even know some of these roles existed.
Then, in non-clinical roles, you have finance, patient access services, guest relations, patient experience navigators, and people like me who work on the business process management side. If you have a skill set you want to share and want to make an impact by changing people's lives, healthcare has a role for you.
This is one of the things that brings me a lot of joy about my industry. If you want to contribute to people's health, there is absolutely a role for you.
