Frieda Erler (she/her) has been a Physical Therapist Assistant at a New York City Hospital for the past 19 years. Her passion is patient care but given the challenges that are facing healthcare she has become increasingly interested in healthcare administration. After receiving her BA in Disability Studies in 2022 at CUNY School of Professional Studies, she decided to continue her educational journey. She is now in her last semester of the MS in Health Information Management program, also at CUNY School of Professional Studies. In the future she would like to be able to combine her many years of experience in a clinical setting with the knowledge gained through her studies in order to empower clinicians to continue embracing patient care while also leveraging inevitable administrative / technological changes to their overall workflow.
