Week 1: The Flow
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! My week was A LOT, so I am going to break it down into three parts.
- Part 1: SC Audit & Accounting Solutions (M, W,F)
-
-
- Three days out of the week I get the opportunity to learn a little more about the tax system. This week, I took the steps towards becoming proficient at tax processing. It is very interesting being part of a complicated assembly line. I get to see all sorts of forms, numbers, and individuals.
-
- Part 2: AZ Oncology Internship (T & TH mornings)
-
- I get to shadow the head of operations at AZ Oncology, Malinda, along with the clinical and nursing directors. On Thursday, I got to sit in on a breast cancer administrative meeting. My favorite part of this experience is that I get to compare an independent medical facility that has been established for around 20 years to AZ Neurosurgery & Spine, which has only been established for 3 years. There are some noticeable differences. Malinda puts major importance on the FLOW of all her different operations, and while it takes a lot of effort, it truly increases their efficiency. Overall, it gives me a better idea of what it takes to be a successful Medical Administrator (which is my desired field).
“I am a JILL of all trades and a master of none”

- Part 3: AZ Neurosurgery & Spine (T & TH afternoons)
-
- This is one of my more exciting jobs because I am slowly entering a specialty position. I am the only employee that manages billing and insurance issues along with tax preparation and bookkeeping. This is a super unique job experience and I enjoy learning all I can in this position. Also, the clinic is a great opportunity to observe different systems being put to the test. I have learned a lot about all the work that is required to make these services successful.
As I continue on my journey, I am hoping to shadow the head of operations at the Tri-City Surgery Center and start interviewing local business owners.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Thank you for reading!
