Southwest Health Center

Patient Access Representative

February 2020 • Platteville, WI

What I liked

I work in the Emergency Department and I absolutely love the environment of the ED. The work atmosphere at Southwest Health is very impressive and always aims to keep patients and employees happy and positive.

What I wish was different

I wish nothing was different! I got an immense amount of training that continues to pay off while I am in my line of work.

Advice

I am a biology major and a double minor in history and Spanish. I decided to take a job here in the ED in hopes that with my degree and a masters program I can become a ED Physicians Assistant. With this in mind, I took a registration job in the ED in order to experience the environment of an ED. Now that I have learned the registration/business part of working in an ED, I am beyond excited to start practicing medicine in the next few years as I am a sophomore now. I highly recommend starting a job a your preferred field of work before entering it. For me, this ensured that I do want to work in an ED as a Physicians Assistant.
