I study in Business Management and I'm planning to do a bachelor in Management at McGill University. I chose to summarise the article on being a hospital administrator because I'm planning to specialize in an Entrepreneurship to become a supervisor in a public institution. I also chose this study program because managements courses enable graduates to be a business analyst in various companies, which also interests me. Also, my parents always wanted me to become a doctor and working as a hospital administrator will make them be proud of me because they will understand that although I do not went to medical school. I will work with doctors so that we can cure many patients as possible. In the paragraphs bellow, you're going to understand the daily work of a hospital administrator, academic prerequisites for accessing the labor market, employment prospects and quality of life after a few years of work experiences.
The task of a Hospital Administrator
We have all noticed that in general doctors live a life undoubtedly impressive and agitative and that they save lives almost every day. In the movies, you can see the doctors work hard to save lives and it is the same in reality. The hospital administrator is also very important in hospital, despite the fact that he is never in direct contact with patients. Indeed, he has the task of verifying the good execution of each hospital department, for example to check that the secretary takes calls, to check if the nurses dispense basic care and comfort for patients and many more. There may be several hospital administrator for each department to ensure that operations run smoothly. They are responsible for organizing and to ensure the well-being of the operation in health services and they have the obligation to give decent health care to patients. Hospital administrator must also help and assist other professionals to perform specific tasks such as attending the removal of stitches from a nurse. The admnistrator in collaboration with the human resources team have to hire and train the interns to help them integrate work more easily. He set up meetings to ensure that interns carry out their work without mistakes because this field does not allow it. Their working hours is far from the typical 9 to 5. They have an irregular schedule and they can be called in the middle of the night to make important decisions or to resolve conflicts between employees. Administrator tasks do not stop here, they need to rate all the staffs, establish regulations for emergencies and maintaining public relations with the media. Administrators also attend employee meetings, go to charity events and attend to various non-profit events. In short, this is a job where you have to be aware at all times and where you have to manage stress effectively.
Education to become a Hospital Administrator and employment prospects
This job requires a master's degree in Health Services Administration. The master in health services administration includes a one-year internship in a private clinic or in a hospital. Students must stand out and impress the hospital administrator to hope retain the job after the internship. A student doing a bachelor's degree in Business Administration can also hope to be a hospital administrator but he must have in himself, abilities to work in teams and to manage administrative tasks with managers and medical staff. Health services administrators begin their careers as administrative assistants. Over the years, their bosses give their more responsibility until they become partners. Then one day, they can expect to be a CEO and even move to another state to occupy this prestigious job. At that time, the big salaries are coming up with interesting increases from year to year. We can talk about wages up to $125,000. In addition, the union of hospital administrators adequately protects workers with social benefits as covered expenses for which to relate to health. Many jobs are excepted in the years to come due to the population growing at a high speed. These opportunities of career will be mainly available in larger hospitals, but also in older home centers where health administrator will treat olds ill patients. I intend to personally go to work in Los Angeles because the city is energetic a bit like New York, the weather is good all year round and there is less income tax than Quebec. Then, with the money saved on taxes I would like to open an advertising agency to produce advertisements that spend on television and radio. Still, before doing this, I have to get my university degree first.
