Ken Said:

after getting an associated degree in healthcare administration what kind of jobs can you do?

We Answered:

There are lots of managerial jobs that you can apply for in the hospital, clinical, nursing home settings. There are tons of nursing home administration jobs (administrator/CEO) out there, along with assisted living etc... You may be able to get into a rural hospital or even a bigger one after you get some experience. However, to hop right into a hospital adminstration it may take gettting the bachelors or masters degree...anymore, in that aspect there is quite a bit of competition. But there are plenty of areas and places out there. I think this would be a great degree to get. Depending on your strengths you could really rise above and get a really good job that will only continue to get better for you. I have family in this setting and they love it.

What kind of jobs can I get with BS in Healthcare administration?

We Answered:

Unfortunately, colleges make up these majors that don't mean much. With only a B.S., I agree that maybe a job in the medical insurance industry, or a doctor's receptionist, or Administrative Assistant in a clinic. Not much I can see. Most hospital administrators are actually M.D.s! (physicians) You might try to use it for a career in social services, like something in a group home field, or maybe use it just to get a job in a different field, like a probation officer. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it has a great outlook. Better to change to something like Physical Therapy or something that has "real" jobs. Sorry.

What kind of job could I get with a Major in Healthcare Administration?

We Answered:

Health care administrators, or health services administrators, have varying roles and functions depending on the size of the facility they oversee. Generally, health care administrators plan, coordinate, and supervise the functions of health care facilities and the staff that work there. There are two types of administrators, generalists and specialists. Generalists are individuals who are responsible for managing or helping to manage an entire facility. Specialists are individuals who are responsible for the efficient operations of a specific department such as policy analysis, finance, accounting, budgeting, human resources, or marketing. Health care administrators are often called on to maintain and develop professional standards, procedures, and policies for various institutional activities. They are also responsible for developing and expanding programs for scientific research, preventive medicine, medical and vocational rehabilitation, and community health and welfare. To be successful as a health care administrator, an individual needs to have good leadership and managerial skills. They should also be well organized, have good written and oral communication skills, and be attentive to detail.

What kind of jobs can I get with a Phd in Healthcare Administration?

We Answered:

A doctorate degree may enable you to get a job in research though I just wanted to caution you Not to attend any of those 'online colleges' such as University of Phoenix, Strayer University, Devry U or Kaplan U as most employers don't see them as reputable schools. Jobs in research may be difficult to find and the person may at least need a master's degree, but please don't quote me on that ;)

Here is a website that provides general info about various careers: US Occupational Outlook Handbook www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'healthcare administrator' or such. Good luck in your endeavors!
