Healthcare administration jobs typically require strong knowledge of medical terminology, careful attention to detail, and office and computer skills. Certain jobs also call for special skills and certifications. For example, health and medical interpreters need to be proficient in English and another language and complete a certificate program.
Healthcare management jobs are senior positions that require more training and management experience. At large hospitals and medical centers, healthcare management jobs require a bachelor’s or master’s degree. However, some private doctor’s offices and other small employers may accept prior experience working in health administration in place of formal education.
