Medical and Health Services Managers
Coordinating health services plans, operations, and training transfers directly to planning and administering civilian healthcare programs and services.
How to prepare: Compare your education and healthcare administrative experience with hospital operations openings, where a bachelor's degree and administrative or clinical healthcare experience are typical and some employers prefer a master's degree. Check licensing before targeting nursing-home administration or positions requiring an RN or social-worker license.
