Healthcare Management

Health care management professionals include managers, administrators, CEOs, directors, and planners. They work in hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, health insurance organizations, consulting firms, mental health organizations, public health departments, rehabilitation centers, and universities and research institutions. For those who combine a sympathetic, caring personality with an inclination towards leadership, a degree in health care management is the first step in the right direction. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that employment in this field will grow by 16 percent from 2006 to 2016. Median annual income of health care managers is $73,660, though with experience and seniority your salary can rise well into six digits.
