I enjoyed being an analyst intern for Canyon Homecare and Hospice. The job provided me new skills that'll benefit me in my future, but most importantly it taught me the background of what happens with Home Care and Hospice. Before I wouldn't have given second thought to what happens on the business side of the medical field, since my studies are focused on the sciences. However this internship helped me expand my point of view, and learn the business from an analytical position.

What I liked
Working for Canyon Homecare and Hospice as an analyst intern has been an awesome experience. I learned so many skills that will help me as I pursue my career in the medical field. As a premed college student, I am constantly learning about the sciences, such as chemistry and biology. This internship allowed me to better understand the healthcare industry from a business and analytical perspective, not just from my typical studies.

What I liked
I haven't really been a great ambassador of service but getting the opportunity to speak with people in the last leg of their life is a lot more eye opening than I anticipated. These people are face to face with their own mortality and they still have peace. This is a huge reason why the church is so important in my life. I'd like to think my faith would be strong enough if put in a tough situation like my clients.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had more time to devote to meeting with my clients given my busy junior core schedule.
Advice
You must be patient with these people. One visit may be happy and fun but it could turn 180 degrees upon your next visit. That's just the nature of the beast when you're dealing with terminally ill individuals.
