About
a
career
in
Healthcare
Management
&
Administration:
With
the
increasing
complexity
and
technological
advances
in
the
medical
industry,
not
to
mention
a
rapidly
aging
Baby
Boomer
population
whose
collective
and
individual
medical
needs
will
dominate
the
next
few
decades,
the
growth
has
never
been
more
pronounced
in
the
American
health
care
industry,
and
the
more
an
industry
grows
the
more
managers
and
adminstrators
it
needs
to
manage
that
growth.
Qualified
managers
and
administrators
are
needed
at
all
levels
of
the
healthcare
industry,
from
smaller
clinics
and
rural
hospitals,
to
large
urban/suburban
hospitals
and
medical
groups,
to
nursing
homes
and
hospice
facilities.
Managerial
and
administrative
duties
vary
depending
upon
the
size
and
type
of
the
facility.
In
clinics,
mangers
and
administrators
have
more
intimate
knowledge
of
the
practice
and
work
closely
with
physicians
and
other
practitioners,
as
they're
responsible
for
setting
budgets
and
managing
the
finances
and
logistics
of
the
clinic,
which
often
requires
insight
into
how
their
practitioners
treat
and
interface
with
the
patients
and
what
the
patient's
specific
needs
are.
All
healthcare
administrators
and
managers
are
charged
with
operating
in
an
increasingly
complex
regulatory
climate
and
are
under
constant
pressure
to
keep
their
operations
financially
viable,
while
at
the
same
times
attending
to
the
sensitive,
life
and
death
needs
of
their
patients.
With
the
medical
industry
in
constant
flux
and
at
the
whims
of
spiraling
costs,
legislative
action,
and
competition.
Regardless
of
the
nature
of
the
practice
or
the
area
of
speciality,
healthcare
administration
and
management
is
an
extremely
demanding
occupation,
and
long
hours
and
weekends
aren't
uncommon.
It
is
also
a
very
lucrative
profession,
with
the
most
recent
median
income
for
a
healthcare
administrator
or
manager
estimated
at
$67,430,
with
large
group
managers
(with
more
than
25
physicians)
averaging
$132,955.
As
previously
mentioned,
the
profession
is
expected
to
continue
experiencing
considerable
growth,
possibly
as
much
as
27%
through
the
year
2014.
