Internship Assignment A

What I most want to get out of this is an understanding of another cultures business atmosphere. It is important to gain that understanding of other cultures when working internationally. I want to understand what things could potentially make or break a business deal with British culture.

Throughout my internship I really want to be able to get an understanding of how a hospital is run and taken care of beyond the medical aspects. I want to see everything that goes into making the hospital run successfully.  I want to see how their NHS system is run with their universal healthcare. It’s so different from the United States and I want to get an understanding of how things would potentially go if the U.S. switched to universal healthcare instead of independent health insurance. Another reason I am really interested in it, is for the basic knowledge of business administration in a hospital. We rarely if ever hear about the finance, IT, HR, and other departments in a hospital. All we ever heard about is doctors and nurses. There are other people involved within a hospital and that keep it going and I want to know how all of it works.
