Career Outlook

Employment of medical and health services managers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, the healthcare industry as a whole should see an increase in the demand for medical services.

Employment is projected to grow in offices of health practitioners. Many services previously provided in hospitals will shift to these settings, especially as medical technologies improve. Demand for medical group practice management is projected to grow as medical group practices become larger and more complex.

  • Hospitals
  • Physicians’ offices
  • Transcription service offices
  • Clinics
  • Government medical facilities
  • Insurance companies
  • Health maintenance organizations (HMO’s)
  • Nursing care facilities
  • Home health care services
  • Cancer registrars
  • Coding/billing organizations

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the median annual wage for medical and health services managers was $94,500 in May 2015. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $56,230, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $165,380.

Students may not use Google or any other online search options to locate answers during proctored exams. A webcam is required to complete proctored tests. Transfer credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis and alternate courses will be established upon enrollment as warranted. For students who do not have access to a webcam, they may check with the local library, community centers, and recreational centers for availability. Active duty and deployed service members may request proctoring through a military education officer or test control officer. If necessary, a proctored exam may be done in person with a non-affiliated individual such as an administrator, librarian, counselor, or human resource personnel. In-person proctored exams require approval from the Student Services Manager prior to taking the exam.
