Program Overview
Do you have a passion for improving healthcare? Healthcare Administration is a rapidly growing field. You will apply concepts, models and theories in a variety of healthcare administration roles. Medical and health services managers, also called health care executives or health care administrators, plan, direct, and coordinate medical and health services.
Medical and health services managers must direct changes that conform to changes in health care laws, regulations and technology. They might manage an entire facility, a specific clinical area or department, or a medical practice for a group of physicians. They might have administrative careers in hospitals, health systems, public health agencies, insurance firms, consulting firms, medical group practices, managed care organizations, government agencies and other healthcare settings.
