The health profession that I have been looking at is health administration management. I have always wanted to work in a field where I am able to dress in business suit attire and work independently as well are in a group setting. Working independently, I am able to improve my productivity in terms of my ability to concentrate on my own work as well as being efficient with my time. Nonetheless, being able to work with others, I am able to challenge myself both creatively and professionally.
I have put great consideration into many health career professions out there, however, I have been trying to find a health profession that is not only geared towards patient care but more on the business side of health. With my parents owning a business, I know how much it takes and the amount of hard work, running a business requires. Additionally, I love planning and organizing meetings as well as gaining new knowledge in health care field. My aunt, Brandie in Wisconsin got her masters degree in health care administration which is a very similar career path to health administration management, and I have only heard good things from her. I chose health administration management because it is not science based but more business based and with my parent’s background in business, I have learned how to run a business. Being a health administrator, I will have the opportunity to make a difference in my community. Working in the field of healthcare, one is considered a beneficial and valuable member that gives his or her time to help others.

Health administration management would allow me to work in an industry that is one of the largest growing in the United States. I would ask my aunt Brandie on what a normal or typical day working as a health administrator was like, but she would tell me that there is no such thing as a typical day. New and different tasks would always be needed to get done every day. She would tell me that every day she had at least two meetings with health providers that she needed to attend as well as answering emails that are constantly being sent. The meetings are usually to discuss topics such as money, new equipment or healthcare policy and laws that needed to be discussed. In addition, there are times when she would have to interview candidates for open job positions, as well as overseeing the human resources department. Sometimes, Aunt Brandie would have to work late hours and even answer late emergency phone calls. Duties of these health administrators consist of answering emails, attending meetings and taking care of any situation that may affect the business in any negative way. She would always tell me the long extended hours that she had worked as well as being mentally and physically exhausted. One can get an entry level job straight out of a …show more content…
Obtaining a master’s degree in health administration management is the more common educational path for countless individuals who want to seek upper level management positions. However, a few will go to earn their doctorate degrees, for more advanced levels of employment in the industry of healthcare. The healthcare system is booming, and health administration careers are on the rise.
