A summer internship in hospital administration

By Drew Walker ’11

RICHMOND, VA–This summer I have been fortunate to have spent time with a number of administrators within the Bon Secours health system. These administrators include the CEO of St. Francis Hospital, the VP of operations at St. Francis, and the Director of Sports Medicine for Bon Secours of Richmond. My days mainly consist of meetings with doctors, nurses, other administrators as well as individuals in the healthcare community. I began my summer work at the end of May and will continue to work until the beginning of July. This experience has given me exposure to healthcare administration as well as allowing me to make a number of important connections.
