Bio
My name is Imantha Ambrose and I currently reside in New York. I received my Bachelor of Science from UC Riverside in Biology, completed a post baccalaureate degree at CSU East Bay, and received my Masters in Healthcare Administration from NYU. My professional background in healthcare consists of clinical and administrative experience. I’ve had the opportunity to work in various hospital settings, conduct clinical trials, as well as gain administrative experience running a private practice. Currently I am a project manager for NYU Langone Health in ambulatory care operations. In my free time, my interests and passions include posting on my Instagram food blog, traveling, and most importantly giving lots of love and attention to my Yorkshire Terrier, Lamborghini.Project ideas
What Makes a Doctor’s Visit Run Smoothly? Exploring Efficiency in Outpatient Clinics
This project will introduce students to how outpatient clinics (also called ambulatory care) work behind the scenes to keep patient visits running on time. The student will explore questions like: What are the key steps in a patient’s visit from arrival to departure? What can cause delays during a visit (e.g., late arrivals, overbooked schedules, provider running behind)? How do healthcare teams try to improve the experience for patients and staff? The student can learn by: Observing workflows (if possible) or interviewing clinic staff about their roles (virtually or through summaries) Creating a simple flowchart of a typical clinic visit Reviewing mock or sample data (like number of patients per day or appointment types) to look for patterns Proposing a small improvement idea (e.g., better signage, patient reminders, schedule changes) Skills and Takeaways: Learn how healthcare operations support patient care Practice organizing and summarizing information Think critically about real-world problem solving Gain exposure to how large healthcare systems .
