"Employment of medical and health service managers is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2012, as the health services industry continues to expand and diversify."
— US Department of Labor

With the tremendous growth in the health care industry, especially with an aging "Baby Boomer" population nearing
retirement, health care administrators are in great demand. In fact, medical and health service managers are listed
as one of the occupations with the most openings on America's Career Infonet, with estimated 11,880 new openings
annually related to growth in the industry. Nearly 30% of all first-line managers, supervisors and administrative
support workers will have a Bachelor's degree or more. The skills needed for success as an administrator include
knowledge of business and management, practices involved in strategic planning, recourse management, leadership
skills, and other office procedures and medical terminology. According to the US Department of Labor, graduates
with a Bachelor's degree in Health Administration usually begin as Administrative Assistants or Assistant Department
heads in larger hospitals. They may also become assistant Administrators.
