Looking Spiffy

By -
With the fall semester now underway, our new first-year students in the on-campus program (Class of 2016) have wrapped up most of their orientation activities and have 3 classes under their belts!  This morning everyone gathered together outside of Chapman Center for their class picture, and everyone was all smiles, despite the heat and humidity.  Don't they look great?

Afterwards students headed to Chapman 100, where they took care of some more orientation details and then were dismissed for the holiday weekend (although several were spotted already busy at work on homework assignments).  Enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

This past week, Trinity HCAD students had the chance to enjoy the annual tradition of attending the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Congress in Chicago. This fun ritual allows first-year students to bond with their classmates, meet and learn from ACHE's community of executives, connect with Trinity alumni, prepare for Preceptor's Conference with mock interviews and experience the city of Chicago. All 23 of the first-year on campus students attended the event along with the Trinity HCAD faculty and a number of the second-year students, who are currently in their year-long residency. There were over 100 education and networking sessions so students were busy meeting with healthcare professionals and graduate students from across the country. Hopefully these connections will turn into friendships as students advance in their careers.  Trinity professor, Dr. Amer Kaissi, won ACHE's Book of the Year for his book Intangibles: The Unexpected Tr

First year students: Rebecca, Christina, Emily, Anna and Caroline We would like to extend our gratitude to AnneMarie Witecki, Megan Powe and Patra Katsigiannis for inviting the first-year students to the Women’s Forum on Thursday, October 30 th .  We were fortunate to listen to Keynote Speaker, Christann Vasquez, President of Seton Medical Center and a prominent figure in the health care industry.  Following our discussion with Ms. Vasquez, the students formed small discussion groups to speak about the challenges that females have in executive and leadership positions. The session ended with the opportunity for students to ask questions to a panel of successful Trinity Alumni including Xochy Hurtado, Tina Ortega, and Leah Spann-Lacy.  Many of the questions focused on work-life balance, raising children while in the work force, and the general challenges that women face in the business world.  Overall, this was a very informative and engaging session. We hope to pass this

For this week's Student Spotlight we're interviewing Ashraf Ali, a member of the Class of 2021. We're so lucky to have him in the program and look forward to learning more about him! Undergraduate University: Auburn University   Undergrad Major: Health Services Administration What made you interested in healthcare administration? I became interested in healthcare at a relatively early age. I was raised in southeast Michigan and it became clear to me that the socioeconomic status of our community coupled with the state’s educational inequality had a detrimental effect on the overall health status of individuals within the community. Our community was also very ethnically diverse, and I believe that cultural boundaries imposed further challenges for individuals to receive the care they needed. Later, I fell in love with business management and found that healthcare administration as a career path was a perfect combination that would allow me to have a
