Healthcare Administrator

Healthcare Administrator

Duties and responsibilities:

While doctors, clinics and hospitals may boast of the best medical care, this alone does not guarantee these facilities will prosper and flourish. As with any organization, health care enterprises must operate efficiently and profitably to survive. Professionals in health care administration ensure that the business side of medicine prospers.

Salary: $64,821 per year

Education:

 Many higher-level health care administration executives have a master's degree in a field such as public health or business, hospital or nursing administration. A bachelor's degree is often sufficient for entry-level positions, or for employment with smaller facilities when coupled with relevant health care experience.

Reflection: I would not like to be a healthcare administration because I don’t find it interesting
