Why You Should Get a Healthcare Management Degree Online

It's no secret: the fastest-growing occupations for the next decade will be in the healthcare industry. Along with a predicted shortage of nurses in the industry, there will also be a scarcity of trained healthcare administrators. If you're looking for an advanced business education, online training programs have stepped up specializations of MBA-health management degrees to help staff hospitals, clinics, research laboratories, and insurance companies.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the most new positions created in the next decade will go to 3.6 million healthcare employees. Eight of the 20 fastest-growing jobs will be in healthcare. Many of them will go to new managers graduating from MBA/health management degree programs, or employees from other healthcare positions who advance into management after returning to college. Online training will help them to remain in the workplace while studying at their own pace.

Getting Your MBA Degree Online

The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that healthcare is a $2.2 trillion industry, and its management faces issues in policy, inflation, quality of provided care, and funding. Online colleges and universities are offering MBA degrees with specializations in healthcare administration, health information technology, and health management.
These advanced degree programs complement existing online associates and bachelor's degree programs in finance, business, and health sciences. This makes it possible for you to build your health management career in self-paced training programs that match your on-the-job experience and prepare you for advancement.
If you already hold an undergraduate or master's degree in another field, an online MBA/ health management degree can focus your skills on a career path that will really go somewhere in the next decade--and beyond.
