Healthcare management- bachelors

<p>How many of you are majoring in Healthcare Management & what do you plan on doing after you finish? </p>

<p>I want to work on my Bachelors degree for Healthcare Management & have a goal set to become an office manager at a doctor's office or work in a hospital. I was doing my pre-reqs for nursing, but had a change of heart. I want to be in the medical field though so I decided to take up management.</p>

<p>I have experience in this field.</p>

<p>I think it’s a very lucrative field and the future for administrators is probably bright while the future of medicine is rapidly shifting from bright to immensely bureaucratic. Medicine will need bright managers to navigate the system.</p>

<p>I say go for it but definitely plan on going back for a Master’s degree. The best route to doing that may be working for a hospital at graduation and letting them pay for your Master’s a year or two down the road.</p>

<p>While getting your bachelor degree, I recommend, though not every can or wants to do this, double majoring in finance or accounting. Medicine is more about money than health these days. Folks are trying to provide care while staying afloat and that is getting more difficult to do every day. Deep knowledge of the financial side will give you a competitive advantage on the job market.</p>

<p>I didn’t even think of that. You definitely opened my eyes up to something new. Thanks for the insight.</p>

<p>I am not very good at math at all. I rather stick to the medicine side of things. I want to help people out though, but also manage.</p>
