I have officially finished my first semester of graduate school. It was a great semester. I learned a lot, had some wonderful experiences, and developed great friendships. On the evening after my last final, a small get together was hosted by Mr. Bill Tuttle and Mr. Monte Massongill, who were the two instructors for my Administration of Health Care Organizations class.
Not only was it a great way to end the semester with my cohort, but they also were awarding the Case Presentation Team Award. The first week of October, each team presented the case it prepared to a panel of judges, who evaluated us and gave us scores. Two months later we finally got the results of the competition. My team won! Go Red Team!

We were presented the coveted bedpan trophy!
Our names were engraved on the base of the trophy, basically granting us immortality.
We put a lot of work into our presentation, so it was satisfying to have some validation.
Clearly, it is a unique trophy. Mr. Tuttle explained his rationale for using a bedpan as the trophy by explaining the humility required by those who have to use them, clean them, and by those who care for those who use them. As future health care administrators, he implored us to remember the need for that humility as we strive to provide the best quality care.
