Healthcare Management Careers

What Training Is Required for Health Management Careers?
Most positions require a master's degree, but you may be able to get an entry-level job with just a bachelor's degree. For your master's, you can choose any one of these areas:
  • Business administration
  • Health sciences
  • Health services administration
  • Long-term care administration
  • Public administration
  • Public health
Competition to get into these graduate programs can be intense, meaning you need to keep up your grade-point-average while earning your bachelor's degree. Your coursework may include a year of supervised administrative experience and classes in:
  • Accounting and budgeting
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology
  • Health economics
  • Health information systems
  • Hospital organization and management
  • Human resources administration
  • Law and ethics
  • Marketing
  • Strategic planning
You may also be able to specialize in a particular type of facility if you so desire, such as hospitals, nursing care, or mental health facilities. Otherwise you can focus on general health management and administration.

Health Management Careers: Employment Prospects
Employment is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Most health management careers are found at hospitals, with the rest working primarily in offices of physicians, nursing, and residential care facilities.

Work experience in health care plus good business or management skills can help increase your job opportunities. Similarly, gaining experience in a large hospital may also increase your appeal to employers.
