Health Services Administration is a very rewarding career. Though it comes with a great deal of responsibility and dedication, successfully managing a medical practice ensures that the business runs smoothly.  Because I am able to work under pressure, I have great versatility in choosing from various medical practices or departments, to include nursing homes, family practice offices or even largely staffed departments in a hospital.  This career is an ideal fit for me because, not only do I have the drive and determination to successfully handle a multitude of tasks and business complications that may arise, but I can also make quick and well thought out decisions within a relatively short period of time. As a Health Service Administrator, my ability to multi-task will allow me to successfully manage various duties simultaneously without a problem, thereby increasing productivity.

 

Though working for a medical office or department is the ideal path people take with a bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration, my wife and I have a bigger goal: to open our own medical practice where she can see patients and I can take over the operations end of it. I chose this career path because my wife graduates next month with her bachelor’s degree in Biology and will be applying to medical schools months later to fulfill her lifelong dream of helping others by becoming a physician. To work alongside my wife and help her in fulfilling her dream, as well as mine, would make me feel like the luckiest man in the world. Though this career can potentially take up about fifty percent of my time, the long hours are offset by the reward of working with my lifelong partner.

 

Another reason for this career choice is that the financial return is enough to, not only sustain my family, but the compensation also will allow our family to live comfortably.  If I decide to use my degree in Health Services Administration to run the operations of another practice or department, rather than our own family practice, this would give my wife the opportunity to help raise our children full-time without the need to work, if she so desires.  The more experience I gain in the field, the better my chance is of establishing a stable career.  If by any chance I was not a good fit for the department or practice I initially work at, I am certain that my personality and customer service skills will pave the road to the next job.  As a Health Services Administrator, I will have a guaranteed steady employment that will make me feel financially secure. 

 

Because the health care field offers many opportunities for the administration of larger departments or even entire hospitals, I do intend on working my way to the top should I decide to work independent of my wife if she decides to stay home and raise our children. Though handling larger departments or entire hospitals does mean acquiring a master’s degree beyond the bachelor’s degree required for entry-level jobs due to the increased level of responsibilities, I am up for the challenge and embrace all that comes with it. My plans are to acquire enough training through the bachelor’s program in Health Services Administration to adequately manage the medical practice that my wife and I plan to open after she completes her medical residency program.  If the need arises for my wife to stop working to take care of our children or she chooses to stop working for whatever reason, I will make sure to be adequately prepared in advance by getting my master’s degree.  This will enhance my resume, make me highly qualified as a job candidate, and open the doors to higher level jobs that encompass a multitude of greater responsibilities.  These newly accessible jobs have a significantly higher financial compensation that will allow me to provide the perfect lifestyle for my growing family.
