Personal Statement: A Career As A Healthcare Administrator
In one to five years I would like to be established and working in a medical facility as an administrator. I am currently studying in the medical industry and would like to work in a hospital setting of the administration department. The role of a hospital administrator is involved with the operations, technology and other programs developed and practice by the facility. I would like to explore, embrace and share the different services that can be provided to the patients and community at and around the facility.
Qualifications that I already possess are experience in a medical facility setting, certificate completion for HIPPA requirements and in a Bachelors program for healthcare administration. Other skills, knowledge, certifications or training that is needed are the following completion of a master’s degree program in order to advance from hospital manager to administrator. Other skills would include management experience, knowledge of managing finances, public relations and training on local, state and federal medical laws and policies. …show more content…
Additional steps I will need to take would be to obtained experience within a healthcare management position before being able to become an administrator.
It would be best to move up within ranks at a facility and learn the daily operations, financial aspects and procedures of the facility. The best way to achieve my goals would be to start as a clinic manager and move up the chain of command. Another great aspect that will help is to obtain my master’s degree after completing my current bachelors program. This could give me the stepping stones needed to achieve my goal within five-year time
frame.
The barriers that I feel that I need to overcome is fear of networking. One of the emphasized aspects of developing a career is networking with those who are in your career goal. I think in order to overcome this barrier I would need to visit medical facilities and possibly intern at one until I am able to gain employment at a lower position.
