I have a BS in Healthcare Administration, I had no intention of ever being a " hospital administrator." As stated, its a fantastic degree for someone already working in the healthcare space who wants to learn more about the industry and needs to move up the ladder. My career path in healthcare went Call Center Cust Svc > Claims Analyst > Jr Reports Analyst, > Reports Analyst (this is when I went back to university) > Sr. Business Analyst > Sr Healthcare Economics Consultant > Associate Director of Healthcare Economics. This is all the within the health plan space focusing recently on health data analytics for Medicare Advantage markets. Most of the people I work with have varying degrees from Economics, Statistics, Math to Engineering. This channel makes a very good point about not being to narrowly focused when looking for jobs in the healthcare space.
Your first point is dead on accurate, i couldnt have said it any better. Accurately captures my experience in grad school. Get a job experience before getting a degree. I wish someone had told me this long ago.
Hi can you advice if i should finish billing and coding , i find that the outcome isnt worth it with all the work that has to be put in or should i switch to Health Administration which im not sure has a better outcome. But i do have 8years of experience in a medical office and then a huge gap after have kids and now i heading back out there Please advice
@@bruh-bg5mm what do you want to do in the long run? Billing is just the certificate, depends on what area you live in. Health Administration is the degree which covers Billing.
@bruh-bg5mm Absolutely finish your billing and coding course. Healthcare Administration won't cover coding courses, and knowing coding will get you more money. With both under your belt, you'll be able to work in many different departments.
Today is my first day as a patient registration clerk. This is great information. I havent started education yet in this field. Never thought about it. Thanks!
Wow extremely helpful! As a healthcare admin student I am looking for experience but not in the clinical but on the other side of the spectrum. I love the advice about the imposter syndrome, I get this quite often. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Very good advice thank you! Currently a healthcare administration student working on BS but also over 12 years in healthcare both admin and clinical! Excited about the future
You can start mid level or higher level if you go through government agencies or the actual military. Also have you looked in to administration of smaller faculties like nursing homes and assisted living facilities. You do not need a masters just a bachelors and training.
My experiences are working with people who have an addiction and some clinical, and being superior and director, but have a BS in business healthcare management and currently will be finishing my master's in healthcare management in less than 3 months, and I wish to have a job in clinics or hospital.
Fantastic content! I appreciate how you've provided concrete examples of mistakes and offered practical solutions. Your advice will undoubtedly help teachers navigate the job market outside of education more effectively. Well done!
ALSO the healthcare industry is multifaceted; there’s more than just hospitals. There’s: Managed Care Orgs Medical Devices Orgs Pharmaceutical Orgs Health Retail Private Practices Mental/Behavioral Health Health & Wellness Orgs And probably more
Finally someone who gives decent information on this topic! Thank you so much ❤️ I am interested in HR in Healthcare. That's what I want! Can you make a video about that? Maybe interview someone who does that job and talk about the day to day, career steps, pros and cons etc
Thankyou for taking the time to cover this topic toward the end of your video. throughout my whole bachelors in health admin they did not cover what sub specialties or job titles were available in healthcare administration. I am working towards getting into operations management. P.s your videos are very well made. You can tell that video presentations are a strength you possess.
Thank you, so much for your help. I had similar experience as you. I got my MHA during Covid and was searching for jobs with no experience. But volunteering helped med a lot.
Good review. My program advisor did tell me it would take at least 10 years to get a good health administrator role. I started with a CNA certification position then after I got my degree I started working in insurance, claims processing and now billing. Billing is decent 😅but I rather be doing coding which pays more 😅so I may go into that or get a health information management degree where I have more opportunities. 😊
@@Rachgib yes so I found a entry level job for a big healthcare company . After 1 year you can explore any roles within the company. So my current job I’m a clinical coordinator I work remotely. Same company. My best advice is to choose a company that have good career advancement opportunities. While my first year working that job I learned a lot of ppl in healthcare have other degrees your not limited at all . Find a good company with advancement and you being an internal employee has a lot of perks.
I’m not getting a masters or anything. But I am starting a role as a Healthcare Data Entry Specialist, so hopefully that will give me some knowledge before starting my career as a healthcare admin.
LOL 8:30-8:36 is so hilarious and relatable! You're so funny! Also, I see that you noted obtaining healthcare administration experience is something one should work on during undergrad and grad school. As an undergrad, I would love it if you could make a separate video discussing entry level positions a college student can pursue to fulfil that goal? Is medical scribing a good job to have as an undergrad health admin major if you are thinking about managing an outpatient medical practice when you graduate? What is the experience required for that?
Medical scribing is great to do as an undergrad. It will help give you medical field experience and give that you will become so familiar with not just medical terminology, but actual medical procedures, it will put you in a good position for management later on. That being said, I believe you will have some more stepping stones in between scribing and management. I would advise you be on the look out for a good "manager mentor" while you're scribbing. That would give you some invaluable guidance to make it to management b the time you graduate.
A person going into healthcare Admin should have several years (at least five years) of previous experience in the medical field because a degree tends to cause a person's head to swell if they walk into a management position without prior experience.
I don't have administration experience in hospital but have more than 10 years experience as clerk and operator, so can i perform good as i know more things than a degree holder having no experience?
I first watched this a month or so ago feeling so hopeless I wouldn’t find a job without a degree. tomorrow is my third day as patient coordinator at an ophthalmologist!
Man, I'm so thankful I look at this video again. I have my associates, and I am 7 classes away from finishing my Bachelor’s. So this just helps my anxiety. What entry jobs would you suggest??
Glad 😊 I found this video!! Then I guess am on the right path cuz am getting my bachelor degree in Healthcare administration soon and on internship now trying to get experience , and also get a job from it before I go back for my master😇!!
I’m trying to choose between a bachelors in healthcare administration or a bachelors in business administration with a focus in healthcare administration. Ultimately I want to work in healthcare but still have options outside of healthcare. Is the business admin degree the right choice in your opinion?
Can you tell us more about master in health care administration ( To obtain a master's degree in health management, what is it? Required specialties in the field of health management
Dear Ashley, thank you for your video and for sharing your insights. Imposter syndrome - the persistent inability (aka the unreasonable and unhelpful and unhealthy denial of a certain reality, despite having completed education and engaged in growth of knowledge) to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills versus Awareness of own existing skills and training needs - may very well be a healthy insight... Please, should the decision to step forward for additional responsibilities not be subject to reflections and assessment of requirement and capabilities etc.? (own at application/or not, external at interview) regards Sy
What do you think are good jobs to start off in the business of healthcare. Could you give some examples, please? I'm starting my bachelor program soon and want to get on top of things!
Hi Professor Ashley. I am a 39 year old recent graduate in Healthcare Administration and mother of 2. I am also a full-time Store Manager. Due to my busy work and home life, I couldn't do an internship, so I have been having trouble trying to get my feet into the field. I have had a couple of interviews but have been unable to get anywhere do to my lack of experience and I don't speak spanish. What type advice would you give someone like me?
Thanks for all your insights.. It is of great help specially for freshers in this field.. I want to ask that what prior skills should a person learn that will make them better than their peers.. Apart from clinical experience and effective communication is there anything that can set someone apart from others. Thankyou
I’m currently a medical assistant and today I went to look at a school and it looks like the best route for me is health care administration. I’m not sure if being an MA is good to have for this degree or if I should focus on getting a different entry level job? Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!
I have 10 years of health care experience and customer service experience. I’ve worked for a Durable Medical Equipment company, I’ve worked for two health care insurance companies, I’ve worked with Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and I’m currently working for a health care center. I have no degree, just a certificate. But I want to get my bachelors. I’m terrified of school, I’ve always been a terrible student. Can someone give me tips and/or advice on the classes and how it is to go into Healthcare Administration?
Yes, of course. My Bachelor's degree was in Biology before I went on to get a Masters in Healthcare Administration. Different schools may have different requirements, but you can definitely find one that suits you.
I sure it depends on the subspecialty, but if a new grad with an MHA got an entry level job, what kind of job are we talking about? The job would be related to his/her degree, right? Or would the hopsital just assign them any job like mopping floors, and then after 6 months they can become an assistant, for example?
No, typical entry level jobs in healthcare administration would be: Administrative assistant, receptionist, patient services, data entry, medical records tech,
I'm a medical laboratory scientist and I love to get into the healthcare management field but I don't know how. Every program I see requires economics and business studies in bachelors and I didn't have that😮💨😮💨
I'm in the same boat. Currently medical scientist. I'm applying to an online mba program in healthcare admin. I just need to take 4 core classes before I start the actual mba classes. My company will pay for it :)
So true. Had mostly the exact same experience. Got my MBA in healthcare administration with limited experience. Had to work multiple jobs at the bottom before making it to where I am right now, which is middle management. Still working to get to an executive level role. My whole experience has been mostly in the hospital. Other points that are important in this field is that it is extremely difficult to break into! So finding and in/mentor is definitely important. Also, it is more preferred to hire clinicians such as nurses into administration roles because having clinical knowledge is viewed as more valuable than someone that does not. Finally, this is not a field for someone that cares about making money, if that’s your main goal than you should consider a different field. I could go on and on, but I’m sure you can relate.
@@kumbish1021 in comparison to other fields such as banking, and tech the money is not as much. Then again you shouldn’t go into this field for the money, it should be because you’re passionate about healthcare.
@@therealryann5681 interesting!!! Not only healthcare, all professional fields should be out of passion to be in. To be realistic and practical, you can’t tell me after piling up loans to get all that education, you wnt think of the pay scale when you have to repay those loans..
It’s a very difficult field. This is what most aren’t honest about at all and have people thinking they’re going to be making good money and let’s not get started on the work culture of these facilities or hospitals or offices. Healthcare tends to be toxic but all careers have a pros and cons, but I noticed once I got involved I’ve gotten depressed and I even have to file a eeoc lawsuit that I one recently against a healthcare company where I was a medical billing analyst. It’s crazy. That’s why I’m going to do something I like but also money is a major thing for me at this point because my goals aren’t to be working a 9-5pm for years to come.
I did medical SONOGRAPHY undergraduate I have been working for 4 years what's your advice for me if I want to do my master in healthcare administration
I've worked at Resort Spas, in Front Desk, Reservations, and massage therapist for over 20yrs, could I use this degree to be a spa director, or should I get into hospitality management?
I’m going to just be starting a masters in healthcare admin. I have work experience in the admin side but did work as a home health aide for a year. Do you think working for 2 years while I get the masters degree would be good enough?
Can I ask what jobs should I be looking for while I'm in school for my bachelor's in health care management if I have no experience? Thank you so much for an in depth video.
You should be looking for any position at either a doctors office, hospital, or facility such as an ambulatory surgical center. The field of healthcare really relies on job experience, so even if you have a masters in healthcare administration, they'll want to see your work experience. There's a lot that you can learn from being in the field that you will not learn in the classroom. If you can, try to get a billing position because I feel like that's the most versatile entry-level position and you'll learn the importance and reasoning behind the tasks that people do at the check-in and check-out desks. However, if you know absolutely nothing about healthcare, then get a receptionist or front desk position and learn the basic processes behind health care.
Hi ashley i have done my graduation in clinical medicine and want to pursue MPH in usa. Could you please tell me what work can i do while pursuing MPH. looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.
I work with Department of Health and Human Services, is that experience even though its not health care related? I work with Medicaid as an eligibility specialist.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services is VERY MUCH health care related as it is in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, the largest insurance provider in the US. Remember, healthcare doesn't just mean hospitals and doctor's office.
YES!! I worked after my CNA experience as front desk at a Chiropractic clinic! Thats where you get into health insurance and eligibility and benefits! I graduate with my MHA in May! Any experience in healthcare helps!
I habe total experience of 10 years in healthcare field..and i have done my Graduation in Arts field. So can u please suggest me nay course in healthcare Administration field.
Thank you for this video. i want to ask a question. I have a B-Tech in Urban planning in 2015 but then since after school i have only worked Administrative roles and for the past 4yrs it has been in Healthcare administration (as Insurance Claims/billing officer, relationship officer etc) and i really love it here. advice me how to get a masters studies in healthcare administration since my degree is in Urban planning. thank you!
The EHR/EMR has such potential, but because there are so many compartmentalized and proprietary programs that don't interface or play well with others, it doesn't serve us nearly as well or could and should. 😔 We have so much to learn from other countries' national health systems! But between lobbying and greed, it's gonna be a steep uphill climb.
Hello there. I'm currently working as a Basic Life Support (BLS) Paramedic at one of the leading private companies in South Africa. I want to know or i'm asking for some advice - I am about to enrol for Healthcare Services Management Course. As a Paramedic, should i enrol or thic course is strictly for Nurses? Thank you.
Most Institutions require a minimum of a masters degree. It also depends on your experience and what you have to offer the students. I have a doctorate degree, but it also helps if you show that you are working on your doctorate.
I have done my bachelors in nursing should i go for master in healthcare management? As i'm not really interested in clinical nursing i prefer more business side, is it good decision?
Hi I am an occupational therapist with little experience still, but I am at the point of knowing what to do about my passion and going forward. I wanted to land a leadership role in rehab as my main goal but definitely won't limit myself from that setting. I just accepted for MHA but doubting if is it worth it or is it possible for my experience as an OT be beneficial as soon as I finish the MHA program.
I’m deciding between healthcare admin, business admin, or health information management? What do anyone recommend? I’m a medical assistant and a mom of 5 so I want good income
I would recommend going Healthcare Administration if you want to stay in healthcare. Business Administration does not teach a lot about healthcare industry plus there are a lot of people with that degree. Health Information Administration it is focus more in EMR. If you go for a general Healthcare Administration you can land a Health Information job as long as you show experience with EMR and privacy laws plus leadership.
My community college offers a medical office administration CERTIFICATE. Is that too good to be true? Would I actually get hired with just a certificate?

Healthcare tends to be toxic but all careers have a pros and cons, but I noticed once I got involved I’ve gotten depressed and I even have to file a eeoc lawsuit that I one recently against a healthcare company where I was a medical billing analyst. It’s crazy.
That’s why I’m going to do something I like but also money is a major thing for me at this point because my goals aren’t to be working a 9-5pm for years to come.
Wow, so should I get this degree or not?
I did medical SONOGRAPHY undergraduate I have been working for 4 years what's your advice for me if I want to do my master in healthcare administration
I've worked at Resort Spas, in Front Desk, Reservations, and massage therapist for over 20yrs, could I use this degree to be a spa director, or should I get into hospitality management?
My best friend works for epic in Minnesota he runs clinics showing older doctors with small practices
When you say healthcare experience. Does a position as an RBT count towards building my resume for a MHA?
I’m going to just be starting a masters in healthcare admin. I have work experience in the admin side but did work as a home health aide for a year. Do you think working for 2 years while I get the masters degree would be good enough?
Can I ask what jobs should I be looking for while I'm in school for my bachelor's in health care management if I have no experience? Thank you so much for an in depth video.
My question too
Maybe a project, program, or administrative coordinator
You should be looking for any position at either a doctors office, hospital, or facility such as an ambulatory surgical center. The field of healthcare really relies on job experience, so even if you have a masters in healthcare administration, they'll want to see your work experience. There's a lot that you can learn from being in the field that you will not learn in the classroom. If you can, try to get a billing position because I feel like that's the most versatile entry-level position and you'll learn the importance and reasoning behind the tasks that people do at the check-in and check-out desks. However, if you know absolutely nothing about healthcare, then get a receptionist or front desk position and learn the basic processes behind health care.
What jobs would you recommend to start applying to before getting a masters??
Hi ashley i have done my graduation in clinical medicine and want to pursue MPH in usa. Could you please tell me what work can i do while pursuing MPH. looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you.
which laptop should i buy? windows or mac?
I work with Department of Health and Human Services, is that experience even though its not health care related? I work with Medicaid as an eligibility specialist.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services is VERY MUCH health care related as it is in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, the largest insurance provider in the US. Remember, healthcare doesn't just mean hospitals and doctor's office.
@@malcorub thanks but I also try to branch out in a hospital and they say it's not really the same.
Does experience as working front office for an orthodontist count???
YES!! I worked after my CNA experience as front desk at a Chiropractic clinic! Thats where you get into health insurance and eligibility and benefits! I graduate with my MHA in May! Any experience in healthcare helps!
Please get rid of the back ground music. It is distracting.
Hi professor! Is it possible to do MHA after an undergrad in engineering ?

Yes you can.
And it would be a major upgrade if you're planning to use your MHA in medical engineering

Hello, can you share anything about urban planning? What classes did you take? What are some daily tasks that you handle?
New to this field, where or how could I find a healthcare administration mentor?
Is it good to start with diploma certificate program of health care administration? For example at Conestoga?
How much a difference does it make If your MHA isn't CAHME? Thanks
Can u start out as a Medical Assistant while u are getting your bachelor's in Healthcare Administration?
The EHR/EMR has such potential, but because there are so many compartmentalized and proprietary programs that don't interface or play well with others, it doesn't serve us nearly as well or could and should. 😔 We have so much to learn from other countries' national health systems! But between lobbying and greed, it's gonna be a steep uphill climb.
I agree.
Capitalism shouldn't be inserted into healthcare.

Hi Ashley I’m considering getting my DHCA do you like your job what department do you work in?
Would it work to get a Bachelor of Arts in Business and then a healthcare administration masters to become a heathcare administrator?
Perfect content. I loved the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Healthcare Administration and Healthcare Management same?
What type of jobs would you recommend to get ready for the business side of health care Admin. Would HR work count since it’s dealing with people?

How do you nectar professor with Just a master degree ? Do you get a teaching certification?
Most Institutions require a minimum of a masters degree. It also depends on your experience and what you have to offer the students. I have a doctorate degree, but it also helps if you show that you are working on your doctorate.
Hi I'm HCA student....and I would like to get experience on this field.....if anyone knows anything pls respond

You should look into healthcare analytics. There are many areas for an analyst even with a nursing degree.
What do you think about a Medical Device Sales background? Would this be helpful or irrelevent?

Hi I am an occupational therapist with little experience still, but I am at the point of knowing what to do about my passion and going forward. I wanted to land a leadership role in rehab as my main goal but definitely won't limit myself from that setting. I just accepted for MHA but doubting if is it worth it or is it possible for my experience as an OT be beneficial as soon as I finish the MHA program.
😂😂I am an OT and thinking about MHA too
Seem like your website is down. It's not loading for me.
Does working as a Pharmacy Technician count ?
Can MPH student get career as healthcare administrator?

Mam, how can I find a mentor, a good one?

Thank you
Been working in the admin side of healthcare for 6 yrs now, finally able to go back to school now. What bachelors degrees complement this?
I thought admin was the highest paying. Why are you going back to school?
@@beckyngreene if you don’t have a degree it doesn’t pay what you think it does.
Hello I’m doing Mbbs in Russia so is it possible to opt to masters in healthcare administration in uk or us
Great info!!
Glad it was helpful!
Unfortunately, they won’t hire unless you have experience so it’s a double edged sword when it comes to get experiences before getting your degree.
What kind of experience ?? I'm a dentist in my country and willing to pursue this mba in the US. Is it gonna be fine for me?
I’m deciding between healthcare admin, business admin, or health information management? What do anyone recommend? I’m a medical assistant and a mom of 5 so I want good income
I would recommend going Healthcare Administration if you want to stay in healthcare. Business Administration does not teach a lot about healthcare industry plus there are a lot of people with that degree. Health Information Administration it is focus more in EMR. If you go for a general Healthcare Administration you can land a Health Information job as long as you show experience with EMR and privacy laws plus leadership.
My community college offers a medical office administration CERTIFICATE. Is that too good to be true? Would I actually get hired with just a certificate?
What masters degree would you recommend I have thought about getting a dual in MHA/ MBA
Did you opt for it ? I also have the same confusion 🙁
@@devashreejavalkar8994 it's a thought
