Megan Husson, recent Goodwin College 医疗协助 graduate, was hired at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in the Hematology/Oncology Department exactly four years to the day of her discharge.

年仅16岁的哈森就被诊断出患有肠系膜上动脉综合征，这是一种罕见的影响肠道的胃血管疾病。 “It took eight months to be diagnosed,” Husson recalled. “I’m 5’7 and was 102 pounds and on 28 different medications a day.”

She was admitted to Children’s National Medical Center in D.C. three times for a total of 10 weeks for treatment.

Even though the outlook wasn’t good considering the one-in-three mortality rate with this syndrome, Husson’s experience wasn’t all negative. “I built phenomenal relationships with the nurses and doctors. I have great memories as a patient,” Husson said. “After going through that, I knew I wanted to get into the medical field.”

至于她的康复，胡森称之为奇迹。 “They didn’t think I was going to make it to senior year of high school.”

When Husson learned that by enrolling in Goodwin’s 医疗协助 program she could be working in the field within a year, she knew it was the right decision. “It wasn’t this distant dream. It was attainable and Goodwin made that possible.”

胡森和同一批学生一起完成了医疗辅助项目，这让她感到欣慰。 “At Goodwin, I didn’t feel like I was just a student — I was part of a team.”

Husson completed her internship at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in the Ear Nose and Throat department. “I felt prepared,” Husson noted. “It felt like I was training for a career while I was still in the classroom.”

Husson谈到了进入医疗保健领域的好处。 “医疗协助 is a great way to learn about the administrative and clinical sides. It’s a great springboard.”

Husson worked with Goodwin’s Career Services team to hone her interviewing skills before she was offered a full-time position working with children with blood disorders and cancer. “The patients give my job meaning. The kids seem so happy and so hopeful,” Husson commented. “I can relate because I’ve been on the other side of the bed.”

至于从学校到工作的过渡，胡森说这是无缝的。 “I never questioned if I could do this.”
