This video is so incredibly helpful!! I am in the process of making a career change and Healthcare is at the top of my list. I have been looking at all three of these degree options and now I have a better understanding of the focus for each. Thank you!!!
@Forhealthscholars Dr. Owie, you have no idea how this video couldn't be more timely. I hold a bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and as I want to further my education, I was torn between MHA and MPH. You've helped in clearing this confusion with this thorough breakdown of differences between these degrees. So, thank you, Dr. Owie. 🌼
Hi @saritaale thanks for watching & welcome to the channel! I am happy to hear that this video was helpful! All the best in your academic journey-Dr. Orobosa
@@saritaale7482 this degree is also a good one. If you are interested in internationally working in the healthcare field this degree will give you a competitive advantage. I know someone who has a similar degree and landed a healthcare management position in Dubai.
Thank you so much Doc! Your explanations makes a lot of sense. You are truly a great guidance counselor. I am so passionate about public health but my degree background is in Educational Administration. I also worked with a private security company as a guard where I developed interest in Occupational Safety. I love the MPH degree with concentration in either Health Systems Management or Environmental and Occupational Health. If you could help better orientate me, I would be so grateful. Best regards!
Thank you for this video. I’m currently enrolled in a MBA-HC program but is considering switching to a MHA program because I want to focus on policy. I’m just nervous about taking the step.
Hi Prina.. Welcome to the For Health Scholars Channel! I believe as a MBA-HC you still can work in the area of policy as the MHA & the MBA-HC specialization courses are very similar. If really want to change I would suggest you check first that the courses you have completed thus far in your MBA-HC program is transferable. This will allow you to save time and money. Best of luck on your academic journey!
Hello Dr. Orobosa, thank you for this insightful videos.Please could you do video about change of career for those with art degrees? I'm a linguist with some years of volunteering experience in health sector but I'm looking at enrolling for MPH program
Great breakdown video. I currently have a BHA as well as an associates in HIM looking but work as a registered medical assistant. I am between MHA or MPH with concentration of healthcare leadership and admin. Currently working on the clinical side with no clinical duties. Still trying to decided what best but leaning towards MHA and advice on the right program since I still want to working with patients and manage programs and practices.
Hi Danielle, I recommend you make a list of pros and cons of each program and based on what you’ve written it can help you make a decision on which program would best for you!
Thank you for this video it was very informative! I have been bouncing back and forth between an MPH and a MHA. My problem is that I am interested in reducing disparities within communities (specifically Spanish-speaking communities since I'm bilingual), but would also like to be in an administrative/managerial position so I can help initiate the changes I want to see. Do you have any suggestions on programs or even career paths? Thank you!
Hi @kaylab4984 thanks for watching and welcome to the community! Based on your interest for reducing health disparities, I recommend you go for the MPH degree.The MPH degree will allow you to conduct streamlined research in the field of population health. Additionally, in a MPH program you can take a few elective courses that focus on the business of Healthcare for example you can take Community and Public Health Administration. All the best in your academic journey!
Great advice! Im very much interested in booking a consultation with you. Could you please re-send the link as im not able to locate it in the description please😊
Thanks, I am looking at MBA healthcare management vs MHA. Will have a BA in healthcare management & in finance. Leaning towards MHA because of all the BA business classes I am currently taking.
Hello. Thank you for this video, it really answered a lot of questions for me. Yo mentioned that your experience is a good basis in choosing which to go for. However i just graduated with Bsc. In Human Physiology and I'd like to pursue masters in MHA, any chances?
Hello Dr, thank you so much for your amazing video. I have a master's degree of Auditing, bachelor's degree of Statistics -Econometrics. Now, I would like to pursue my career in Healthcare management . I don't know what to choose between MBA HC and MHA. Between both, which one will open more opportunities door for me?
Can you breakdown the slide with salaries increase, and career advancement. What the income range should be for a Master degree for each and Career path examples for each?
Hi, @lalaj2065 thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. Salaries can vary from state to state and from healthcare organization to organization. In this video, I was sharing that when I got my master's, I requested a salary increase from my employer, and they approved it as I was able to show how my MHA degree skills would be beneficial to the employer. For my doctorate, I was working as a professor, and the pay of a professor with a doctorate is significantly different than just teaching with a master's degree. I recommend you visit websites like Payscale.com or Salary.com to learn about salary ranges for healthcare job titles. All the best!
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am a Nurse Practitioner with 17 years of healthcare experience. I am currently serving as a Director in my current organization but would one day like to lead an organization. I am trying to decide between a MBA and MHA. Would a MHA pigeon hole me or limit my possibilities?
@Forhealthscholars Dr.Owie how do you feel about MPH + MBA dual degree programs? I am interested in the administration aspect of healthcare and in leadership. I do feel like understanding public health from a business standpoint would be helpful. MHA is interesting but I wonder if a dual degree program would offer more information, teach more skills and look better to employers.
Hi Kenya... You’re welcome...I recommend you start researching Master’s programs now but wait until you obtain your Bachelor’s degree to begin applying to the programs
Thanks so much for the video. Which of the 3 degrees will give me the opportunity to be qualified for a management position in any of the healthcare sectors including public health as I am currently in the public health industry but who knows, an opportunity could show up in some other health sector someday.
Hi Michaela, it really depends on your goals all three degrees can allow you to work in administration. If you are interested in working in hospital or clinic administration a MHA or MBA may be beneficial. If you want to work in Public Health administration, an MPH may be beneficial.
Thank you for this. Question, I am about to graduate with a Bachelors in Health Service Management. I currently work as an administrative assistant. How do I ask for a salary increase? Secondly, I'll love you to do a video on which schools will be the best for all degrees. Thank you for all the information. God bless you 🙏🏾
Hi, thanks for watching. I do have two videos that talk about salary negotiations. Feel free to check out the playlist on the channel. Also, thank you for the suggestion, I will include this video in my upcoming line up- All the best!
Hi, I don’t believe your that your bachelor degree is waste should you pursue a healthcare management career. The health sciences are instrumental to the healthcare industry as well. Clinical research and operations positions may be a good career path for you as it would allow you to utilize your bachelor degree in biological sciences and explore the operation side. All the best!
Hi Dr. Owie! My job will pay for my MBA with an emphasis on healthcare administration but I feel an MPH (would not be paid for) suits me best as I’d love to work at the community health level. Is it likely that I could land an MPH role with an MBA?
Hi @jessicabaez2882 thanks for watching & welcome to the channel. In your case, I recommend you look for dual MPH/MBA programs. I know the university of Georgia & University of North Carolina offer this type of program. All the best!
Hey Dr, I hold a degree in Diagnostic Radiography, I am having a hard time deciding between MPH and MBA in Health Management. Which do I think is more suitable for a Radiographer?
Hi Ester! I can’t tell you which one is best, but I do advise you to make a list of the pros and cons of each program. Based on your research, I believe this will help you make the right decision. Also, you can consider doing a dual program. They have dual MBA/MHA or MBA/MPH programs. All the best!
Hi, I recommend you go to a local state college as you can really leverage having the direct contact to your professors and peers as you pursue your MHA career post-graduation
Hi, it depends on the university and their requirements for successfully completing their MBA program. On average in the US, it can take a scholar 1 to 3 years to complete their MBA program
Hi Dr. Owie, I am passionate about public health but also want the opportunity to become a manager of a hospital/health center (whether it’s a public/private). Should I pursue an MPH with a business focus (will this give me enough training to run a hospital public or private?) Or should I pursue a dual degree of MPH/MHA or MPH/MBA-HC?
Hi Kiana, It great to meet another professional passionate about the business of healthcare. I recommend if available you do a MPH/MBA-HC as this degree program gives you great versatility to work in multiple healthcare settings. All the best!
@@forhealthscholars Ok and what if I had to choose from one major vs doing a dual degree? Do you suggest MHA over MPH? By the way, I majored in an interdisciplinary major that included a lot of public health. Thank you Dr. Owie!! And what MHA concentration did you get your masters in ?
Hi Dr Owie! Thanks for the information. I'm a professional medical practitioner with over 15 years of working experience. I'm planning for masters at I have interest going into managerial positions in healthcare. Kindly advice me: should I opt for MBA OR MHA. REGARDS
Hiii ma'am I had a doubt....the mha program does it include coding and maths in it....cause I am a bds graduate from India ......so could u tell me whether math or coding is included in the curriculum
What is the average salary for a Master of Health Administration/Master of Business Administration. I wouldn't be done until I'm about 53. Too old? Please advise.
Hi Kenya… to answer question about average salary info. It really depends on the job, candidate experience, the organization’s budget and how well the candidate negotiate the job offer. I recommend you check websites like Payscale.com for salary info. As it relates to your age… Age is just a number. Also it is against the law in the US for employers to discriminate against candidates because of their age. I recommend you sign up for my course… being launched in January 2023… in this course I show you how to land a healthcare job… See link here to learn more bit.ly/3HTC6D7.. all the best in your career journey!
