What's the best field of health care management?
Asked by Adam
I'm a high school student and I think that I might pursue degrees in health care management and economics. What is the best field to enter concerning health care management, hospitals, government-related jobs, etc.? What are some other interesting fields in health care management?

Best Answer:
health informatics - records management - very lucrative - and no patient contact you have to keep all the patient files in order and update them as required. hospitals can have thousands of files also remember the privacy issue - you must be confidential. colleges should have health records management courses.

Physical therapy is growing by leaps and bounds. There are not enough qualified ones to fill available vacancies and management slots.

Finance , government relations, Medical staff relations, Nursing Administration,Patient Care services,Material Management and Human resources to name a few jobs you could have with a degree in health care management. Executives are needed in hospitals, clinics,mental health, rehabilitation, physicians offices,skilled nursing facilities and research institutions to name a few areas where your training could benefit you! There are many more. Health care and education are the only 2 growing industries now in America so you really can not go wrong with that as your degree. The only other growth now expected in the next few years is green technologies but they are mainly heavy in Science so if it is not your thing I would go with health care. Find out if the school you want to go to has job placement assistance and see what the rate of graduates are working. Good luck to you and I think you are making an excellent choice!
