Introduction
The professions of health information technologists and medical registrars require a lot of soft and hard skills, along with a relatively high level of responsibility, like any position in healthcare. In fact, my role is to support the information systems used in a medical institution and optimize its work to improve patients’ health and maintain the confidentiality of their personal information (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). The most important skill right now is teamwork. The ability in writing, which has experienced a positive trend in recent years, was primarily aimed at communicating clearly with their team members and effectively achieving results. Business communication makes up most of the time when I use my written language, as I have to interact remotely. Integrating core teamwork skills allows my writing to get better.
Discussion
In my opinion, it is essential to maintain balance and develop emotional intelligence in the team since this work is associated with a high degree of responsibility, where the well-being of patients’ health is at stake. Focusing on universal values, which form the basis of any medical profession, allows for maintaining a businesslike and positive tone of communication in the team. Using technological tools is the most important milestone of my experience in the hard skills graph. Teamwork is a crucial foundation of soft skills that contribute, among other things, to motivation, involvement, and satisfaction. The implementation of professional skills is fully manifested while developing, designing, and maintaining information systems and applications for storing, editing, and working with case histories and personal information about patients. Our department should optimize the interaction between the competencies of medical specialists and the possibilities of technology to maximize the result in the form of an improvement in the condition of patients.
Presentation skills are also primarily focused on teamwork. With their help, I hone my communication skills with my department and professionals from the field of clinical medicine. When presenting a product to specialists, I adapt my language and information, focusing on the practical implementation of developments. Otherwise, I focus on the pitfalls and technical aspects of implementing potential specialist requests. In both cases, the departments interact as one knowledgeable team, and I try to be a guide between them to the best of my competence.
Conclusion
Finally, I consider research skills to be the most important for achieving my future goals. Among them are the constant optimization of technological tools for medical institutions, the creation of conditions for their affordable distribution in cities and states, and the minimization of risks in data security and patient health in general. To solve these problems in the long term, it will be necessary to constantly keep abreast of discoveries, changes in standards, and promising developments in related technological fields and, accordingly, research. Together, these skills portray a professional leader, which is also my goal. At the moment, I still have insufficient in-depth knowledge in both the field of medicine and technology, but it is the skills of a researcher that can help me achieve all of the above goals, primarily for the benefit of society. In addition, the acquired skills in these areas are key in many others, which will contribute to the development of my resume and the opportunity to master new specialties for potentially exciting jobs related to medicine and technology.
