Hi Barbara,
These questions are designed for you to highlight your current skills, academic and professional successes, and work experience. The reasons you want to pursue your MHA will provide admissions officers insight into your goals and work ethic. They want to know what you bring to the table and how a degree from Walden will help you excel in the future.
As for, the healthcare trend, they are looking to see if your are knowledgeable about current issues in the healthcare industry. Big trends right now include:
- the impact of the aging baby boomer population on the healthcare industry
- changing legislation related to the ACA and health insurance
- future funding of Medicare and Medicaid
- the role of technology in healthcare - such as telemedicine, electronic health records, or biometric security features
Sharing your knowledge about one of these topics will highlight your interest in the field and showcase your problem solving skills.
If you would like further tutoring on your essay, contact me and we can set up an online session.
Best,
Amy
