Abstract
I spent the summer of 2019 interning at The Breast Center under Audra Flammang. She has a degree in communications and holds the position of Quality Assurance Administrator. She primarily works to ensure Joint Commission Quality Indicators are met and proper documentation of these indicators takes place. She communicates with the staff in weekly meetings about their ideas for quality improvement projects and necessary indicators for ongoing or upcoming projects. Her job also includes preparing case briefings for the weekly Breast Conference that occurs at Washington Regional.
During my internship, I was fortunate to learn a lot about radiology and cancer, participate in several quality improvement initiatives, complete chart audits, sit in on interdisciplinary meetings, and observe imaging and biopsies. In this paper, I will walk through experiences that I had, as well as how they aligned with my goals for this internship.
