The most openings, according to the US Department of Labor, will be for medical office manager, a person who runs an office for private physicians. Demand is also strong for executives in the home healthcare and outpatient services fields.

Other executives are needed in clinics, consulting firms, health insurance firms, hospitals, public health departments and many other healthcare settings.

What would you do?

Healthcare managers, according to the American College of Healthcare Executives,
  • Ensure that their organizations have strong medical, operational, and financial footing to serve the needs of patients, their families, and the communities
  • Are skilled, trained professionals, who care deeply about the quality of care patients receive. They partner with physicians, nurses, and other professionals to provide care
  • Help in educating community members about important health issues
  • Ensure that hospitals and other healthcare organizations serve as "safety nets" in their communities, by providing emergency and ongoing care, as well as accurate and timely information about public threats in times of crisis
Distance learning in healthcare management can bring you the knowledge and skills you need for these challenges while accommodating your current commitments at home and work.

How much could you make? Salaries in healthcare management, according to the American College of Healthcare Executives, typically start at $30 - $40K at entry level, average $50-80K after 8-10 years, and can top $100K after 20 years of experience.
