This past summer, I had the opportunity to be a Co-Op at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in their Information Services department.

I work for Temple University Physicians in their operations and patient relations department part time during the school year, as well as full time over breaks and the summer. In the office, I make and take phone calls from patients regarding appointment information and troubleshoot any issues they may have. In addition to this, I also input information and upload documents to the hospital system’s internal patient database, Epic, and am in constant contact with pharmacies concerning prior authorizations for prescriptions.
