First off, this program has taught me how to contribute intelligently and has given me the opportunity to teach coworkers and even superiors about the healthcare system. In summary, combining this program with the things I do in my professional life gives me more confidence, which in turn helps me make wise decisions in my professional life. Second, having more time to devote to the master's degree in health care administration has allowed me to revise some of my current tactics. These include motivation, leadership, and professional communication. Additionally, the discussions held in class on topics endemic to healthcare have helped many of my initiatives in the workplace. Many of the debates are supported by peer reviewed research, an aspect that enhances their effect on my career.
