>> I would recommend -- there is two paths that I think a lot of people that we interview
for my position, a position in my department come through.
It's either industrial engineering or coming through the HPA program
because the HPA program gives you exposure to a lot of different things that will provide you
to understanding you need to work with people that I work with.
So at the institution I work with the C-level suite frequently.
So I'm able to understand a lot of the conversations that they're talking
about in terms of operational things, clinical things,
just physician management, employee management.
This degree is so robust.
It exposes you to all of those areas.
So even if it's not making me an expert in it, it's actually exposing me to it.
And the fact that we have to do an internship before we graduate kind of lends to, you know,
getting that hands-on, practical experience.
So I would say this is a good major to come through.
I didn't -- I don't know much about the industrial engineering major
but those are the people that we interview sometimes but that's just because a lot
of them have the improvement science background in terms of Six Sigma or, you know, Lean.
So those are things we can build upon.
We can take those skills and build upon them.
They're not exactly what we want but we can build upon it
and the same thing goes for the HPA degree.
You actually are more prepared with that degree to come in
and do some of the things we're doing.
