Administration

This cluster of classes prepares me for a very practical perspective of healthcare administration, or any administration for that matter. I will be introduced to topics such as inflation rates, bookkeeping, management skills, etc. These skills will give me a good insight to a workplace environment and how to navigate various roles in the workplace.

Statistics for Science

This statistics course opened my eyes to the idea of research and how to pursue any research. I was able to learn simple coding, using “R” and the basis of sample groups, control groups, variables, etc. If I want to study any portion of healthcare, whether it be patients or staff, I have the ability to implement research proposals and studies. 

Management

Working in a team of healthcare professionals, having basic leadership and management skills will be a great asset to my career. Learning how to work efficiently and effectively with others, and learning how to be appropriately professional when personal differences arise, is a priceless skill. This class will undoubtedly help me gain understanding of a business structure and where health care administration fits into that. 

Organizational and Industrial Psychology

Gaining knowledge about the systemic psychology of an institution is vital for a career in an administrative role. Studying the dynamics of the ladder of demand, work relationships, and other various organizational elements will give me a basis of understanding and knowledge about how to create a productive and efficient work environment. It is important to foster a good work environment, because when there is toxicity, people act poorly and make mistakes. Making mistakes is normally rather understandable, but in the healthcare setting it could mean life or death.
