Responsible for AAHA accreditation
I was responsible for getting the hospital ready for AAHA. I had to delegate to the rest of the staff to prepare for our walk through as well as take on a large amount of preparation on top of my daily responsibilities.
I also worked directly with some of the top board certified surgeons and internists in the country for 20 years.
