>> I think that to run an on-campus medical facility or to run a medical practice,
no you don't have to have a medical degree.
I think you have to have a certain executive skill set.
You know, you've got to be able to manage yourself, make decisions,
even decisions that aren't always popular.
You need to realize that you are not here for a popularity contest.
But it's better to be respected than to be liked.
That you're not just taking care of a single individual; sometimes you have to be responsible
for a whole operation that's going on simultaneously.
So there's a skill set that you need to develop.
First one is managing yourself.
People talk about managing time, but you know, we don't manage time.
All of us have the same 60 seconds, or 60 minutes in an hour.
What we really need to do is decide what we do within those 60 seconds or those 60 minutes.
So I think from a student's perspective, you have to learn to manage self.
And then after that, you know, you have to develop knowledge.
Because knowledge gives you a certain level of respect and also helps build your ability
to make decisions, develop self-confidence, you know.
You won't make every decision right, and many of us learn
from what we thought was the right decision at the time.
We learn that in retrospect, it could have gone a different option.
And things change in the process after you've made the decision.
So you've got to learn to make decisions.
You can't sit there and just ponder it the whole time.
You've got to make a decision at some point, and you just make your best decision and hope
that it turns out the way that you had planned.
