Summer Internship: Olmsted Medical Center
By Aaron Morse (MHA/MBA '18)
I’m writing from Rochester,
Minnesota to tell you about how incredible my time here as the Administration
Intern for Olmsted Medical Center (OMC) has been. Since completing orientation
in late May, I have had the opportunity to attend incredible meetings, gain
exposure to the operations of a community hospital, and work on a number of
meaningful and valuable projects.
During my time as an intern I’ve
been lucky enough to assist and get my hands on a number of projects. One of these projects includes creating
templates and processes to be used in streamlining the physician recruitment
process. I have also been able to work with the Telehealth Core Team and the
rest of the IT department in developing a long term strategy for virtual
healthcare within the organization. In addition, I have been a team leader in
completing the applications for a couple quality awards which has allowed me to
do deep dives into several OMC quality initiatives and really understand the
roles, engagement, and processes involved to roll these initiatives out.
In addition to everything else, I’ve found
that everyone at OMC has a great deal of fun and camaraderie while putting in
work to deliver top quality patient centered care. I have even been able to
visit several branch clinic annual cookouts and participate in the foundation’s
annual croquet tournament!
I’ve also had a wonderful time
exploring Rochester this summer outside of work. I have been able to attend
several Rochester Honkers baseball games and have also made it to several local
concerts and community events. Rochester is close enough to the Twin Cities and
my hometown of Mason City, Iowa that I am able to travel to other summer
events.
