Third Day of Internship
Today I explored the Yale New Haven Hospital with Denise Hersey. She showed me the Oncology section and anesthesiologist part of the building. I thought they were both fascinating places, and I was very appreciative that she showed it to me because I hope to be a Oncologist or an Anesthesiologist one day. So getting insight about my future was great! While we were there, I also interviewed Ms.Hersey. She has a undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania (http://www.upenn.edu/), and a Masters degree from Southern Connecticut State University (http://www.southernct.edu/) . Today she works as the Coordinator of the Liaison Program and is matched to a department which she supports. She explained to me how lately the new technology is hard to keep up with since every day something new is coming out. In order to keep up with the information problems of a liaison group, you have to think out of the box and find new resolutions for their problems. She also said how much she likes the opportunities her job offers and how it is a very rewarding job, because she gets thanked everyday for making doctors' lives easier...just by doing her job. Imagine getting thanked everyday for doing your job! That would be pretty nice, going home knowing that you have made someone else's work life easier just by doing your job.
