Healthcare Administration Q&A

[@tiarrajohnson8500]

I’m late, but I’m so happy that I found your channel. I was a pharmacy tech for a year. That gave me experience to be at the front desk at a dermatology office. I graduate with my bachelors in Psychology in March 2024. Then I’ll get my masters in Healthcare Admin. I’m binging your videos and it’s giving me so much motivation!

[@iam____vinadanielleg6190]

I have watched 3 of your videos about Healthcare administration and I already applied for schooling. This has given me so much hope I've been a caregiver since 2015 and I went to school for Medical Assistant as well. This information is definitely helpful thank you 😊 ‼️

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Vina! I am so glad to hear you found my videos informative. When do you start classes? Congratulations to you!!

[@emelycooper8193]

Thank you so much for this! I’m entering an MHA program in the fall and am so nervous. I really want to do well and this has helped!

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Emely! I'm so glad you found the video informative. It's natural to be nervous. You will do well! Sending you many blessings and positivity on your education and career journey!

[@tfred1081]

I am so happy to find you. I am study Health Services and information is so limited in the field. Thank you for educating and sharing you knowledge and experience

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi T Fred! I'm so glad you found the info helpful! Sending you many blessings on your education journey!

[@trishaeason8081]

Are there any certifications that you would recommend to boost your resume as a healthcare manager?

[@Iampamb]

I have been in healthcare 8 years working in registration, scheduling, billing and a/r follow up. I recently got my MBA and I can’t grow into leadership because they keep telling me I don’t have enough experience. How do I gain experience without actually getting a better job when I have to focus on productivity in my daily role?

[@CourtneySharea]

You may need to update your resumé. Highlight your managerial skills. Instead of listing out your responsibilities, illustrate your value by using the CAR method (challenge, action, result). Hope this helps!

[@femimichael1479]

Follow her advice, then apply to a different higher manegarial role in a different Healthcare company.

[@joanbarras5067]

Hi, I am almost finished completing my MHA. I’ve developed a great interest in the marketing side of healthcare administration, particularly in assisted living facilities. Does anyone have experience or knowledge with this?

[@msbreakley]

Hi! Thanks for all of your information. I’m graduating with a Master’s in Healthcare Administration and I’d like to go into practice management. I have been a supervisor/director in the the behavioral health field for the past 12 years and I would like to get my CPME, how do I get started?

[@frankiedee2024]

I completed my associate degree in Medical Assistant. I am transferring to the bachelor degree in Healthcare Management. I will land an entry level position then will enroll into an MHA program. Thank you for the added motivation...

[@dm-gx4wz]

Hi Courtney, thank you for this video. I am currently a freshman in college trying to switch from Pre-Pa to healthcare management. I am currently a psychology major and am wondering if I can get into a graduate program with a bachelor's in psychology or if I should switch to business management? Thank you!

[@AuNaturCal]

Hi I’m viewing this months late. I recently came across you & looking to get my Masters degree in Healthcare Admin. I finally finished my degree on Organizational Mgmt 2019 after getting my girls out of HS. I’m looking more into HIM however having been a CNA/CMA for over 15yrs an Admin in that sector is an opportunity as well. Nursing Home Admin. What would you recommend a path for each or both. Or perhaps a Bachelor degree or certificate would be financially better? (Tuition rates) As a seasoned woman I’m open to entry level positions now that would allow me to transfer upon obtaining my degree. I wished I had caught you live. Thanks for your input.

[@lovely31bluprint]

What about MBA IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT?

[@tremendousmaiden3393]

Hey there. I have my associates and currently studying for my RHIT. I also have my bachelors in Healthcare Admin. I am currently a HIM Coordinator at a hospital but my background has always been in release of information. I like my position as a HIM Coordinator but I am ready for leadership position. What do you recommend for me? Thanks.

[@blingbyjessica]

After I get my bachelor's degree. I would like to get a dual in MHA/ MBA

[@traciegibbs682]

I currently work in health care and have been for 26 years. I have a bachelors and masters in health care admin. I have been having a hard time advancing in my current employer. What route can I take to advance with this degree? Many positions want you to have management experience which I don’t have. What else can I do or route can I take?

[@mikeb4471]

Wait 26 years isn’t enough experience to get into management?? What the actual fuck

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Tracie! Wow, 26 years experience is impressive. Definitely leverage your transferrable skills that you've gained over the years. Make sure to also network as much as possible. Talk with your manager about how they can help you further your career. I hope this helps. Sending you many blessings!

[@sumaabraham9670]

Any graduate can apply for MHA course.

[@suzettemona1]

Hi, my question is that why is so difficult to find a senior community to be given the AIT program.?

[@lindadanquah3594]

Hi coutney am linda l had a degree in busniess Administration in Accounting And how l want to relate the course into healthcare. What program should Persue in MBA (should l go for Healthcare service administration or healthcare Mangement)

[@ritatotonjie9996]

Hi! Is a PhD or a DHA worth it for Health Services Administration? Do you recommend it? Or do you recommend to stay with an MHA degree?

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Rita! It really depends. I haven't encountered many people with a DHA in my career thus far. IMO, DHA's are beneficial for people working in a teaching hospital setting or for those who plan to become an educator. That's just my opinion. I hope that helps!

[@TinyFeetBoutiqueLLC]

Hi Katina! I’m hoping to do another on the first or second week of May. I’ll keep you posted!

[@dorothykarenuy1407]

hi courtney! would you recommend people in their mid 30's to get their feet on the door of healthcare admin? will it be too late or harder to find opportunities when they start at this age? thanks! love your videos!

[@CourtneySharea]

Hey Dorothy! I recommend that you do whatever makes you happy regardless of your age! You can easily leverage your transferable skills.

[@CourtneySharea]

@olufunsho Ayodele experience *usually* takes precedence over advanced degrees. This is why it is extremely important to leverage transferable skills.

I’m just finishing up my mba this summer and I just found out my college has an MHA program idk if it’s always been there or if it’s new. I am thinking about applying just because I want to continue my education.

[@anangel9127]

Does the diploma called "Health Office Administration", comes under "Healthcare Administration" ?

[@Idratherbecleaning]

Courtney, my question is regarding the cost of entering a mha program...I guess my fear is what if I take on student loans for a masters program but never see that money come back to me? I’m already not having good fortune finding a job after graduating with bachelors in health administration in the field I’m doing patient registration . How do I get to that next step for my career? (I can’t afford any out of pocket programs and my employer has a weak tuition reimbursement program)

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Auriel! You have valid concerns and questions. Unfortunately earning a degree does not guarantee a job. Are there opportunities for growth in your current organization?

[@Idratherbecleaning]

Well I work at a hospital, I’m just not sure which direction at the hospital I should look into next. I was thinking of taking your advice and looking into revenue cycle work and I think I could get into an entry level position in the billing department.

[@Idratherbecleaning]

Would it be wise to do something like add medical billing and coding cerification to my plan of attack?

The HIPAA manager might be related to a hospital privacy officer

[@CourtneySharea]

Hey KungFuKen! Great point. HIPAA manager and privacy officer typically have the same job functions. The titles are typically used interchangeably. These positions can be found in the hospital and other large organizations too!

What r your degrees?

[@Tone202]

im in my 50's and have no healthcare experience so no one has hired me.

[@janaewishem2507]

Hey so I know you have two graduate degrees a MBA and MHA. In your professional opinion which holds more value or does it make since to get both or do a dual MHA/MBA? Thanks

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Janae! To add some background, I received my dual master's degree while I was managing a medical practice. I had a pretty solid foundation of how healthcare organizations operated while in grad school. Wtbs, I defer to what I learned in my MBA program more than in the MHA program. Ultimately, the degree you choose depends on the career you're interested in.

[@janaewishem2507]
