Healthcare is a major business; one that requires talented administrators to manage the growing demands of medical services, technological advancement, and compliance with regulatory actions. Formally trained health services administrators are poised at the forefront of these demands, exceptionally prepared to provide the skills and leadership needed to solve the most complex industry issues. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 15 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations, adding about 2.4 million new jobs. This projected growth is mainly due to an aging population, leading to greater demand for healthcare services. Healthcare occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups. As our population grows and ages, so will the demand for exceptional administrators. The LECOM School of Health Services Administration (SHSA) will prepare you to fill that need when you enroll in the Masters in Health Services Administration (MHSA) program.
