Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one; in my opinion I think that I wouldn’t want to be a health information specialist. The reason why I wouldn’t want to be one is because I would want to be a person who only does paper work. I would want to work in something where I can help people and is more exciting or more of a challenge than just sit in a desk.
