HCI Reflection Paper

You are required to use the provided template and to follow the instructions exactly as prescribed.

For this assignment, you are required to write a reflection paper on your internship experience. The paper should be a minimum of 2 pages and a maximum of 3 pages. It is not an academic research paper, but rather an opportunity for you to reflect on your personal and unique internship experience so far and how it has contributed to your development of the competencies you have acquired throughout your health informatics program. This reflection process will also help you identify areas for growth and development during the remainder of your internship.

To guide your reflection, I have provided a template that you can use. The template is attached to the end of this syllabus and also available in the Webcourses assignment. I recommend that you download the Microsoft Word template from the Webcourses assignment, as it already includes the required structure and formatting for the reflection paper.

You are required to use the provided template and to follow the instructions exactly as prescribed. Below are the general requirements for your internship reflection paper but does not contain the formatting. Be sure to use the provided template.
