This job caught my attention because it is different from the educational setting that most of the other Instructional Technology positions are in. I do not want to be in an educational school environment. My current position is very similar to this position. The major difference it that it is in the medical field working with physicians and my job is in a corporate firm working with attorneys. As far as the job itself, it describes what I do now. My main responsibility is development of documentation and training computer applications.

If anything did happen to my position, I would be interested in a position like the Clinical Systems Trainer. My background also covers the medical field. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Management. The only issue I would have with this particular job is the location. I would not want to move that far from where I am currently.
