PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2
Introduction
A career development plan is defining the long-term and short-term goals for yourself, pertaining
to the existing job, and future opportunities. It consists of a planned structure to achieve those
goals and those goals set must be clear, concise, valid, reliable, and achievable. The purpose of
the reflective career development plan is to analyze your own strength, weakness, opportunities,
and threats, while using your strength to gain opportunity and avoid threats[ CITATION Rot15 \l
1033 ].
A manager is an important human resource in any industry. For this, the healthcare industry will
be considered, that is the role of the manager in the hospital will be discussed. A career
development of a manager of the hospital will be included in the reflection. The steps involved in
creating a professional development plan, that we will reflect further are, self-assessment; setting
long-term, short-term, and S.M.A.R.T goals; deciding on action taken to accomplish goals;
evaluation of plan; reflecting often, and last is portfolio creation of the
accomplishments[ CITATION Zep13 \l 1033 ].

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 3
Reflection
Being a manager at the hospital, there are many roles to fulfill. The major goal was the growth of
the hospital, for which I decided to construct a personal professional development plan. I was
able to recognize the motivation for planning while working with doctors, staff, and nurses. For
instance, the planning includes the action taken for “client-centered or client satisfaction,”
because it is the client, for which a health care center is running. For collaboration of efforts of
doctors, nurses, staff, and resources, a manager needs to accompany an appropriate role for the
success of a hospital[ CITATION Ips17 \l 1033 ].
To initiate with the professional development plan, it is essential to evaluate my own strength
and weakness, the first step was “Self-assessment[ CITATION Meg17 \l 1033 ].” While
evaluating, I observe my existing skills and strengths includes decision-making, effective
communication, interpersonal skills, and appropriate recruiting. I do observe my weakness as
well; it includes the in-depth knowledge of the business that is lack of knowledge of medicine.
After assessing myself, the next step I did in my professional development plan, was to define
my S.M.A.R.T goals, long-term goals, and short-term goals
