The healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, and with so much of the nation’s economy related to this sector, executives are quickly recognizing the need for operational management of this field. That’s where Healthcare Management majors come in, business professionals who are trained and specialize in the specific business, financial, and operational needs of the healthcare industry.
Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, dentists, physician assistants, and veterinarians take care of others, but they can’t do that without administrators helping behind the scenes. Let’s get you prepared for a profitable, fulfilling, and meaningful career that can make a real difference in the lives of others.
Here’s what makes the Mount’s Healthcare Management major unique:
