Hello! I am seeking a career on the administrative side of hospitals/clinics.
I am 23 years old and I have a good bit of experience in hospitals and in clinics.
I began working in a hospital as a med tech secretary, then a unit coordinator for ICU step down, also as a Emergency Room coordinator. Now I am working at the largest hospital in MS as a MOA for Ophthalmology which requires me to do many authorizations for various insurance services such as Tri West, and the VA. In addition I work hands on with Vocational Rehab counselors to help patients with clinic coverage. Since COVID-19 I have been working in assisting in sample collections at a testing site by doing various different roles like working as a scribe, helping lab, and now I have been moved to an administrative assistant role of our COVID-19 Specimen testing site.
I am currently applying for grad school as well to pursue my MHA however, I had a low GPA in college which is a 2.5.
I am trying to expand more into a managerial position and I've gotten my CHAA certification as well however I am having a hard time be able to do that although I have had years of experience and making my resume more appealing to recruiters.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions that could possibly help me?
Thank you in advance!
