Our most recent employee to obtain their COPM-C certification, William Ranes, describes his testing experience, explains how he broke into the health care field and dishes on his ideal Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"1.\tHave you always had an interest in health care?<\/h2>\n

I actually started my professional career in Public Health working in chronic disease prevention.\u00a0 I was fortunate to be a part of an interdisciplinary team of professionals looking for ways reduce the burden and impact of co-morbidities associated with obesity \u2013 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and asthma.\u00a0 It was at this time in my career that I really developed a passion for medical practice improvement and the incredible effect those improvements could have on patient outcomes and quality of life.<\/p>\n

2.\tCongratulations on your recent accomplishment of obtaining your COPM-C certification, tell us about that experience?<\/h2>\n

Where to start\u2026well, it\u2019s a timed test with a four-hour limit and you really do need the entire four hours.\u00a0 The Association of Otolaryngology Administrators (AOA) created the Certificate of Otolaryngology Practice Management to better define the knowledge required to consult with ENT practices in the practice management and business of Otolaryngology.\u00a0 Thankfully there is a comprehensive study guide and even a practice test to help you prepare for the official test.\u00a0 Overall, I\u2019m very glad I was able to go through the process and appreciate the growing network of support from AOA.<\/p>\n

3.\tHow do you feel the knowledge learned during this process will benefit the practices you work with?<\/h2>\n

Otolaryngology is a complex, difficult and ever-changing field.\u00a0 Going through the COPM-C process left me more confident in my understanding of our industry, and Fuel\u2019s ability to not only make sound recommendations, but help implement those quality improvement activities.<\/p>\n

4.\tWhat\u2019s your idea of the perfect Saturday night?<\/h2>\n

Hiding empty wine bottles from my husband \u2013 just kidding, however we do really enjoy wine tasting.\u00a0 As someone who\u2019s on the road a lot for work, I really enjoy a weekend where I get to make a homemade meal and spend time with my family.<\/p>\n

5.\tFun fact:<\/h2>\n

Many people joke about me having an evil twin \u2013 I actually do (just kidding, he\u2019s not evil).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
