I recently had the opportunity to interview Jennifer , Human Resource Manager with HCA Physician Services. Jennifer has been with HCA for two years but has been in Human Resources for seven years of which three years in HR management positions. Although she did not have previous experience in the healthcare industry she is highly recommended by her current and former employers. In addition to being a graduate from David Lipscomb with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, she is also a member of SHRM.

I found it odd that the HR department was not consulted in regards to any planning activity. Jennifer felt that the reason was because the VP of human resources for HCA had input in planning, however they typically did not have first hand knowledge of the day to day activities at the Physician Services division. This is an area I feel that is weak but overall this is a very well managed company as far as the HR functions are concerned.
during my introduction, I have to slow down and give myself time to breath and also to give my client time to comprehend all that I was saying during the introduction.
