What I Learned

I chose to highlight this paper because this assignment, and the class as a whole, were both very meaningful to me. I originally read the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in high school, so it was interesting to revisit the stroy years later while actively studing healthcare administration. Reading this book for a second time, but now with a strong understanding of healthcare systems and ethics gave me a completgely different perspective and helped me better understadn the injustices Henrietta and her family had to face.

I loved this course because I enjoyed understand the reasoning behind thigns and explosing the "why" behind what is considered right or wrong was very interesting. This course helped me thinking more purposefully about fairness, patient rights, consent, and what it means to be an ethical leader. It reinforced for me the type of healthcare leader I want to be, which is someone who values fairness, kindness, transparecny, and patient advocacy over all else. I reicved a 40 out of 40 on this paper, which is reflective of the effort and through I put into this book and assignmnet.
