Medical Office Administration
Have a knack for business and interest in healthcare?
A career in medical office administration may be the perfect career for you.
The booming field of healthcare is no longer just for doctors and nurses. It is the only major industry that has continued to add all types of jobs during the recent economic downturn. In the first three months of 2008 alone, healthcare added an average of 17,000 jobs per month.
Continued growth
Employment is projected to grow the fastest in doctors’ offices and in-home healthcare agencies. In addition, demand in medical group practice management will grow as these organizations become larger and more complex. Opportunities will be best for those who have a background in business theory and practices as well as an understanding of medical terminology and protocols.
