Significant Points

  • Rapid employment growth is projected; job opportunities will be especially good in offices of health practitioners, general medical and surgical hospitals, home health care services, and outpatient care centers.
  • Applicants with work experience in health care and strong business and management skills likely will have the best opportunities.
  • Earnings are high, but long work hours are common.
  • A master's degree is the standard credential for most positions, although a bachelor's degree is adequate for some entry-level positions in smaller facilities and in health information management.
