Healthcare Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities:

Healthcare administrators, Medical and Health Services Managers, also referred to as health care executives or health care administrators, plan, direct, coordinate, and supervise the delivery of health care. These workers are either specialists in charge of a specific clinical department or generalists who manage an entire facility or system.

Salary: $54,080 - $149,760

 Education:

Health care administrators manage the business of health care. They establish and maintain budgets, recruit and supervise personnel, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. In larger settings, like hospitals, a top-level health care administrator may focus on long-term goals and policy-making for the entire facility, while assistant administrators oversee the financial, personnel, and management issues of specific departments. In smaller facilities like medical offices and nursing homes, health care administrators are often directly involved in day-to-day operations, from finance and marketing to the coordination of patient care programs.

Refelction:

I would not like to be a healthcare administrator because that’s not what I want to do in my future career.
