Pros

High school resume bragging rights. More words more words more words more words more words more words. I I I.

Cons

Boring. Secretaries hate you because you steal their work and can barely have interaction with the patients. The most I ever did here was 15 mins of passing out water that was a fun time. I wanted to read a small summer reading book no dice. I was asked to put it away. It's sometimes unpleasant to see how physicians arrogantly interact with other staff members without a medical degree. They will be polite one minute and rude the next. One physician kept insisting that I should be a nurse (I'm a girl?) when I was there to see how being a doctor is. Medical interns are nice and gave some advice on whim. Nobody smiles back. Rude. This is Texas people. I was a volunteer a smaller burn hospital in Galveston, it was disorganized but 100% better. I was allowed to interact and play with patients and have made lifelong friendships there. Maybe methodist is just to big to make an experience like that. Volunteer events (Christmas, Easter, etc) were held during the day....we can't skip school 🤷‍♀️.

Pros

Great organization to grow professionally in healthcare operations. Strong focus on patient care, quality, innovation, and leadership development. I’ve gained valuable experience in physician support, operations, workflow improvement, and cross-functional collaboration while working with talented teams and leaders.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high expectations and increasing responsibilities. At times, leadership roles can feel under-titled compared to the level of operational work being performed. Work-life balance can also be challenging during staffing shortages, major initiatives, or clinic transitions.
