Introduction
The healthcare industry is an important industry as it helps in ensuring that people have
good health. Studying healthcare administration is interesting as it enables one to understand all
the activities that take place within a healthcare facility and also within the managements of
hospitals. In this course, one is able to attend internship programs where they are able to gain
several skills on how to conduct healthcare activities. There are also volunteer opportunities
where one can be involved in to help improve their skills and knowledge on healthcare. One also
needs a certification that entails the qualifications that the person needs to become a healthcare
administrator.
Internship positions
Internship is an essential aspect for every student since it enables the student to
familiarize themselves with their course or study since they are able to perform tasks that are
related to their course and hence increase their understanding of the course (Kash, Spaulding,
Johnson and Gamm, 2014). It also enables the student to know the employment opportunities
that exist within their course. An internship is also important because it helps a student to gain
the skills and knowledge pertaining to their course which is essential since the student will be an
effective employee in any organization after they have been able to finish their course.

administration that I am studying.

especially managing a healthcare organization. I would like to get an internship opportunity in
