Medical and Health Services Managers

Hi, there are lots of different pathways for public health. I provided a list below. I also wanted to note that public health intersects with several industries (event planning and health promotion can fall under marketing/communications or entertainment industry careers, epidemiology can easily ...

It is a camp, which means long days of not having much access to your phone and being in camp 90% of the day. However, there can be a lot of down time as the health center administrator. I read a lot and applied to grad schools and jobs for the fall. You will have most "nights" off, but they won'...

Written and oral communication is important. You record a lot of interactions with campers, counselors and other staff. Active listening is also important for camper interactions as well as nurse and doctor interactions. Organization is also important because during med rushes you have to keep an...

Interviews vary by location and department. Mine was on-site with two people: my direct supervisor and a Director whom I worked with throughout the internship. If you know nothing about health insurance or managed care, do some research beforehand. They care about your passion for health administ...

This is very much a desk job. You'll have your own desk and computer (almost cubicle type of thing). I'd say over half the day consists of working individually at your desk, working with A LOT of Excel sheets. The other few hours consist of upper management meetings and maybe some non-computer pr...

Each day I was the supervising physician for 4-8 medical, PA or NP students who either saw Belizean patients at the permanent primary clinic in Eldrigeville or on alternative days we went to a remote village in a mobile clinic to see patients in these mostly Mayan villages. In the afternoons, I a...

Weekends are completely free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. One Sunday per 4 weeks the Medical Director comes in on Sunday evening to do an orientation for the new students. The work-life balance is good as there is no call or after hours responsibilities and most of the work can be ...

I liked the variety of my responsibilities and meeting a diverse group of people both volunteers and Belizeans. I liked the location and the warm weather on the coast. Teh only thing I disliked was trying to coordinate all the requests to help and sort out how people who came from other countries...

It is indescribable almost. Officers within a hospital do not have a standard day given that a vast assortment of tasks are always coming down the pipeline. For example, I was working on an pediatric ICU MEDEVAC in which my LT (MSC Officer) was lead on. At the same time he was dealing with Joint ...

There will be a panel with directors, HR personnel and other interns who will ask about your prior experiences, challenges you've faced and how you went about resolving them as well as how well you work in a team setting. I would prepare details that will allow you to talk about prior experiences...

There are multiple fields that you can serve in from Outpatient Records, Deployment Manager, Information Systems, Release of Information etc... each of these components assists the operations of a medical facility in some way. Records technicians locate and file proper paperwork for historical re...

My approach would be to select experiences you have had in the medial administration field and expand upon them. Prepare answers that will illustrate your ability to maintain privacy act standards, bolster patient experiences, and have a positive impact within the hospital itself.

This looks different for each person depending on the site that you're placed in. Some of the Summer Associates are in service lines (for example, I was in a cancer service line) while others are in hospitals. For the most part, my hours were consistently 9-5, and most days will be some combinati...

Make sure to know your resume really well. Be able to speak about your experiences working in a team and on different projects. Have some ideas in mind on how your previous experiences and interests can be applied to this position. Also, be prepared for hypothetical questions that are aimed to se...

A typical day in the life of a Healthcare Administrator at the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice was one of; staff meetings, policy reviews and implementation, monitoring protocols, and preparing quality assurance reports, In addition to these functions, I worked with direct-care and non-dir...

Having a MBA with a concentration in Healthcare Management helped me to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to address complex programs and initiatives related to healthcare services. At the same time this major allowed me to gain valuable knowledge on business models and processes and how to...

Getting up early to go to a program meeting. Here we get a daily schedule of where everyone is at camp and if any teams are going out of camp. You have breakfast with your group on most days. Before/after breakfast you help with morning meds and then spend the rest of the day in the health center...

Have some ideas of how you can communicate times that you have demonstrated qualities of leadership and teamwork. Also get comfortable talking into you computer camera because the first round interview is recording your responses to preselected interview questions.

Each day was pretty much the same, except for the first and last day. Monday's are registration days, so each Monday is the same. You prep medications for the week for each cabin. Tues. - Thurs. are also very similar to each other. You're at every meal to give meds at, you're on call if anything ...

Know your medications. Know how to interact with different age groups. Know basic first aid/CPR. Have good communication skills and organizational skills. Be firm in decision making.

Health Care Manager is responsible for a lot of different things so your day will be full of variety. You will likely spend your morning checking on all of the campers and students and documenting any morning medicine that they will take. You also will be checking in with all of the staff to make...

It will certainly help to have a background in First Aid and CPR, and a knowledge of Lifeguarding and Waterfront Safety were also beneficial. You also will need to be flexible and ready to put in all of your effort every day.

You will be living on the campus, and you be working from breakfast to dinner. However, you have weekends off, and a two hour break every day. While you will be working hard, you are also going to be very close with your coworkers and will be building really great strong relationships. There are ...

My degree was in athletic training, so I was prepared to help with first aid. In the past CLC has hired nursing majors, but I think anyone with first aid certifications will do well. Most of the administrative things I learned during training before the campers got there.

As a PMSC, you need to be: detail-orientated as you will serve as the primary liaison between a patient, their physician, and their care manager; technologically savvy as you will be working with and electronic health records system such as EPIC and various other computer programs such as Excel; ...
