Lorraine Sandoval started at Ketchum Health’s “incubator” for office talent, the Patient Relations Department. After completing a medical office management program, Lorraine found Ketchum Health an ideal place to pursue her career, as she has advanced over the years to her current position as Clinic Coordinator for Ketchum Health. In this role, she creates and manages the students’ schedules for their rotations into clinics, which gives her a rewarding firsthand involvement in each student’s journey.
“Each year a new group of students comes through,” says Lorraine. “It’s very rewarding to see their progress from when they first start clinic to when they graduate. I coordinate their schedules and work with them in many aspects of their daily clinical experiences. I really get to know many of them before they graduate and achieve all their success.”
Lorraine also counts it as a privilege to partner with faculty, making sure they have what they need as they support and guide the students’ clinical studies. Having worked at MBKU for many years and getting to know and build relationships with faculty, staff and students, Lorraine’s feelings about the place have never changed. “I enjoy coming to work every day,” she says.
