Healthcare Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: Health care administrators have wide-ranging influence within the world of medicine. The leadership that these professionals provide sets the future course not only for the facilities they manage but also for the health care system as a whole.

Salary: $35,000-$100,000

Education: A bachelor’s degree (four years) is the typical entry-level preparation needed for health care administration jobs. Some employers, however, will promote from within or hire other professionals with related experience (such as nurses) who are ideal for an administrative role because of their direct health care knowledge. For high-level executive positions, a graduate education (two to three years) is usually the starting point. This means attaining a MBA, or a different type of master’s degree, or a doctorate in health administration. Subspecialties are often available, especially in graduate programs. These include long-term care administration, health care services, or health information management.

Do you think you would like to be a Healthcare Administrator?

I wouldn’t like to become one, because to me it doesn’t look intersecting.

Health Information Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities: Medical records and health information technicians organize and manage health information data by ensuring its quality, accuracy, accessibility, and security in both paper and electronic systems.

             $23,000 - $30,000 (Record Technicians)

Education:  Students should take high school courses in business, information management, science, math, and English.  Coding specialists must have a high school diploma or GED certificate.  Training is usually conducted on the job, but classes are offered at technical schools and community colleges.  To become certified, specialists must pass an examination. 

Answer: Do you think you would like to be a Health Information Specialist? Why? Why not?

I think I wouldn't like to become a Health Information Specialist because it doesn't look intersecting to me. It’s not the type of job I would like to work in.

"We come what we think about."

-Earl Nightingale

I think what Earl Nightingale means is that when you want to be something and you think about it and try you actually become it. Like for example, if you want to become a doctor and you stay thinking about it, you could actually become a doctor in the future.

Genetic Counselor

Duties and Responsibilities: Genetic counselors are health professionals who are trained to help families understand genetic disorders and to provide information and support to those families. They may also serve as patient advocates by referring individuals or families to local services that can be of assistance. Genetic research is a powerful tool for treating medical conditions, but it is still a new tool. Many people whose families are affected by genetic disorders don't understand how it will affect their lives. Even genetic researchers and doctors don't fully understand how genes cause all genetic disorders. Genetic counselors work with doctors and families to help families get the information they need to understand the disorder.

Salary: $65,677

Education: Genetic counselors help educate people about their chances of inheriting genetic disorders or diseases using information from a patient's family medical history. They explain possible testing options and provide support to patients and family members. They also might educate other healthcare professionals, students and the public about genetic disorders. A master's degree in genetic counseling is required for most genetic counselor positions, and some states require licensure and/or certification. The following table lists the most common requirements for becoming a genetic counselor.

Would you like to be a Genetic Counselor? Why? Why not?

I would like to become a Genetic Counselor, because I think to help out anyone with any problems they have and help provide from the rest of their families to get it.
