Healthcare Administrator

Duties and responsibilities: Doctors, nurses and other health care staff have enough to do at medical facilities by diagnosing and treating medical conditions. But unless they tend to administrative details such as marketing, accounting or budgeting, their health care enterprises cannot succeed. Health care managers and administrators handle the business end of the medical profession by performing several duties.

Salary: $64,821 per year

Education: A bachelor’s degree (four years) is the typical entry-level preparation needed for health care administration jobs. Some employers, however, will promote from within or hire other professionals with related experience (such as nurses) who are ideal for an administrative role because of their direct health care knowledge. For high-level executive positions, a graduate education (two to three years) is usually the starting point.
