Entry Level Healthcare Administration Jobs with NO EXPERIENCE! | Healthcare Industry Sectors

[@ashleycbla]

1. Appointment/surgery scheduler 2. Medical receptionist 3. Medical Billing Assistant 4. Support Desk Technician 5. Medical Records Clerk/Health Information Clerks 6. Patient Services Rep 7. ? I think #7 was missed unless I missed it

[@jh2519]

The 7th was other departments in Healthcare that are also in other businesses, just to get your foot in the door, such as HR, accounting, or information technology.

[@emmoh2928]

LTC is another area; I went from a receptionist in an urgent care setting, health information tech (medical records), an assistant business office manager, then business office manager. A Business office manager basically manages all accounts receivable functions of a nursing home including preparing write-offs for year end. This experience really leveled me up and for anyone trying to get a head start I would definitely recommend long term care. Also, nursing homes need licensed administrators. Those are 6 figure jobs and you are responsible for managing the nursing home. This is also great experience that is transferable. It requires a bachelors in any field, so many hours of an administrator in training, and to pass the test. Long term care really needs more leaders to care for our geriatric population..

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Mandarin Orange! Awesome experience. I recently read the below articles about the future of LTC. Check them out when you get a chance and tell me what you think. www.forbes.com/sites/howardgleckman/2020/05/04/the-grim-post-covid-19-future-for-nursing-homes/?sh=6bca9be02448 www.politico.com/news/agenda/2021/04/30/nursing-home-future-483460

[@MrBrewman95]

They don’t take leaders. They take stooges to squeeze every possible dollar out of each patient even when it is clinically inappropriate. Your job is find more ways to make money for the organization without it getting sued. That is your real job.

[@emmoh2928]

@@MrBrewman95 yes. Many healthcare organizations are for profit. I don’t think they lead anyone to believe otherwise. Healthcare is absolutely a business first..it’s not free. We don’t have universal healthcare and it’s not a right to everybody, although it should be. What is your point?

This is all very helpful. I have one more year left of getting my BA in Healthcare Administration.

After getting laid off, I got a job working as therapy support in a Children's hospital and recently just went on call there, after getting hired as an Information Coordinatior at another hospital working the front desk in Radiology. It is hard to get a foot in the door but once you are in you can move around so much.

[@oohmydarling1017]

I've worked for an IPA medical group for 6 years, assisting nurses & social workers with the clerical side of patient care coordination & enter auths for providers. My only medical exp was my 2 month M.A externship (which I didn't include in my resume) & office asst exp. Basically, I got in with only office exp, no degree & I love my job so much, I'm now getting my AS in Healthcare Admin. Sometimes, you would REALLY have to know ppl to get in those places & lucky enough for me, I did know someone. From there on, I've gotten a few of my friends in with no medical exp & they've moved up to do medical claims, etc. I know ppl who have master's in their respective fields but work in a restaurant. What I've learned was no matter what degree u have, with no exp or connections, it'll be hard to find a job. Lucky for me, I had both.

I still love this video. I've been on a couple of interviews but the challenges I've come across is that I do not have any experience in handling patient files and EMR. Also, with living in Miami, a lot of these medical offices are looking for spanish speakers only. Spanish required is popping up all over job requisitions now. I've noticed that if you don't have spanish language written onto your resume, it is overlooked. If you do get an interview they ask if you speak any other languages. I feel when I say no, I am being looked down upon. Due to Covid, there has been no volunteer opportunities available. I am feeling defeated.

Im a BSN nurse but I have multiple injuries which makes it hard to work the floors. Plus I’m already 60. would it be a good idea for me to get an MBA in healthcare?

[@sannitajr]

Hi Courtney great video!!!! I have a question I have a bachelors in HA and a MBA. I’ve been at my current job for 12 yrs working as a Data Analyst and was promoted this yr to a position making 60k. I’m really trying to take steps to get to 80k a year. Which direction should I go? It was so hard to find a job in HA all these years, so I continued with the job I received through a internship. At this moment I feel like I stayed too long and I’m stuck.

I already have a bachelors in human resource management, but I never worked in the field. Had a hard time getting a job without experience so I accepted the first job that came along (in mutual fund investing). I still have a desire to become a healthcare admin. What should my next steps be? Get an entry level healthcare job or get my MHA? Or both? Lol

[@kingsleyd3124]

Dr.Courtney, 18:47 what was the question (s) ?

[@yodaleiheehu3280]

I am a care coordinator and I feel like a lot of the responsibilities mentioned in the entry level jobs are blurred together in what I do.

@@DaFaBBMiSs3s It can be stressful especially during holidays. There are times when I wonder I can always switch industries as a rep, but the job is remote, hours are plenty, and you make a difference in people's lives significantly. That's why I stay.

Hi. Mrs. Sharea. I really need help. I took a course in 2011 as an Medical Administration Assistant and basically had few not long term jobs as a Patient Access Rep but not much experience at all n I really feel like somehow no someway I do need a job plus more training and really have problem with interviews. Help me if can. Thank you greatly. Deborah

Agreed.

[@stephaniedavis.6]

I’m graduating with my BS in Healthcare Administration. I’m currently a medical receptionist and I’m struggling to get into a full time role. If I don’t get a supervisor position in my department, should I consider switching to another part of Patient Access (to get full time) or wait until there’s a full time position? I feel like I’m getting passed off because of my age (21). I want to eventually be a Business Partner, Recruiter, Human Resource Partner, or Medical Sales Rep. Consulting would be my long term goal.

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Stephanie, Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! I think you have to do what's best for you. If you can get a full-time job in another department, do it. Make sure to keep the communication lines open with your current supervisor/manager if you decide to apply to another department. THis way you won't burn any bridges and you can switch departments on good terms. Sending you many blessings!

I’ve been trying to find a remote job in medical transcription. I’m I certified and have 15 to 25 years experience I took 3 years of court reporting and transferred at 1&0 wpm before deciding that I really loved the medical field

[@randibesser3202]

Transferred at 180 wpm before knowing what comes most natural to me and feel more at home with was medicine and patient care. Life and family responsibilities restricted me from achieving my dream, to become a nurse. So I started my own transcription business fresh out of school. With certificate in hand I knocked on my first door. The doctor was alone in his office, so I introduced myself and told him how and why he would benefit from trying me out. He hired me that day. Gave me 20 little cassette tapes, about 500 pages. I worked on them and returned the finished transcripts at the end of the week, on time right on the morning hour he wanted them. No mistakes. I was determined to land thatj

Thank you Courtney. This information has been quite helpful. I just happened to stumble upon your video in search for information on healthcare administration. I am a 37 year old store manager with 20 years of retail and customer service experience. I am about to enter my last semester in Healthcare Service Administration, BA. I am so nervous about how to get started in the field. I feel that my retail experience is not enough. As an older person getting in the field, with no experience, how do I compete with the younger generation?
