Summary

I am a senior in the Health Information Technology Associates Program at Davenport University seeking to obtain a practicum position for Winter 2026. I would like to utilize the education I’ve received to gain real-life experience while sharpening my skills in medical coding, billing, and health record management. I am interested in health data extraction and analytics as I plan to continue my education to complete my certification in cancer tumor registry.
