"You can't argue that healthcare in the United States is a booming business," said Susan Kemppainen, editor of BestMedicalDegrees.com, "and current employment opportunities in healthcare are unprecedented."
"With the passage of the Affordable Care Act," Kemppainen said, "more and more people are accessing healthcare than ever before and the healthcare industry is needing more qualified clinicians, technicians and administrators in order to provide quality patient care."
One critical component necessary for the running of quality hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities and physician groups is the need of well -prepared administrators. "Healthcare administrators wear a variety of hats," said Kemppainen, "and advanced education is important for administrators to effectively understand regulations, technical needs, clinical requirements and personnel needs." Graduate programs across the country are offering degrees in Master of Health Administration and Master of Business Administration with a healthcare concentration to help meet the growing needs of healthcare administrative professionals.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the need for healthcare administrators will grow 23% between 2012-2022 and the median salary for this position is currently around $88,580.
