Healthcare Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities:

Healthcare administrators direct and manage hospitals and other healthcare facilities. They are also responsible for financial administration, materials management, purchasing, and patient administration.

Small hospitals may have only one administrator, if there are larger facilities then they may have more. Some administrators specialize in specific fields like patient administration or purchasing.

Healthcare administrators also work in health agencies, clinics, or for private practices.

Average Salary:  $35,000 - $100,000

Educational Requirements:

To be healthcare administrator students should take challenging high school courses in business, science, math, and English.

Most of the healthcare administrators hold master’s degree in healthcare or business administration.

It sounds like a great job to experience but I’m not sure I’m still undecided if I would like this as my career.
