I’m currently getting my BHA and planning on getting an MHA while I’m working after getting my BHA. Like yourself, I wanted to do something clinical at first (For me it was become a physical therapist) and then a few years ago I got a cancer diagnosis and underwent a stem cell transplant. This gave me some HUGE insight on the clinical side of medicine, and I also realized one major factor after becoming a patient, the clinical side was not my forte. I absolutely love healthcare, and have a desire to make quality changes to the system, but being a clinical provider does not suit me. My cancer diagnosis lead me to this career change, and I’m ultimately grateful for that. I liked watching your video!

[@KristaCannady]

Im so glad you have found what you want! Thank you!!

[@allaboutlisha4747]

Hey Andy! I read your comment and felt like I can relate because I’m currently working on my BHA,. I work as a CNA . I plan on getting my MHA while working as well. Good luck to you

Dude Go you!! Congrats man

God has a mysterious way of showing us things. I'm sorry about your diagnosis and I pray things get better for! I wish all the best of luck with your new career. God bless you, my friend!

[@jasonpostma1337]

Great video. I’ve been a Respiratory Therapist for 20 years and just finished my masters in healthcare administration. Best decision I ever made.

[@danceisamazing]

I have an undergraduate degree in healthcare management from the top medical university in my state and my recommendation would be to only get a bha or bhm degree (or a masters for that matter) if you already are working in the healthcare field or in a healthcare office and want to try to move up. Or if you have some sort of connection and all you need to do is get a degree to move up. Don’t expect to get your degree with no experience working in the healthcare field and to just jump into an administrative position. It rarely happens. I got lucky bc my school did a internship for the last semester and I got hired on where I did my internship, but so many people I graduated with are still not working in our field because they had no prior experience and the degree can only teach so much. No one will hire you to run their medical office if you have never worked in that field before. I know it sounds blunt but just a warning to some people here!! Take it with a grain of salt, but just don’t expect the degree to land you a job on its own!!

[@KristaCannady]

Totally agree!!!

[@makiyaknazze5634]

If I were to be a CNA and get my bha do you think that would be enough experience?

[@HM-sx3fq]

So I graduated 2015 BSc in genetical science but I am working as a medical administrator assistant /receptionist.. So this will help me or I need to get a degree in healthcare administration or maybe some online courses?

[@kaylam2806]

Really love this video about MHA because nobody talks about it as a medical receptionist it is giving me the foundation to MHA and how healthcare works behind the scenes. Thank you for this ❤️

[@KristaCannady]

I am so glad 🥺🤍

[@perrycontreras3036]

Another undergrad degree that could possibly prepare you for a MHA is a Bachelors in Health Information Management. This degree introduces you to basic to advanced level clinical concepts, basic to intermediate level business concepts, and basic to intermediate level technology concepts. The main focus though revolves around the medical record, so its not for everyone.

[@KristaCannady]

Yes!!! Agreed!

@@logannutt2191 to be honest, I graduated with my BHA in November of 2022 and it was really difficult to find a job. Couldn’t find anything near me in central/south Florida. I ended up getting a job in IT making almost 6 figures…I hope you have a better experience than I did.

[@JustForfYou]

Yes to making sure the school is CAHME accredited, a lot of online programs are not but there are some out there. I chose University of New Haven online because the tuition is the same regardless of in/out of state. If anyone is considering going to grad school, i'd do it now!

Thanks for this video! I’m currently trying to do both nursing and healthcare administration. I know for a fact I want to do nursing but I know I don’t want to do it forever so the healthcare administration would be something to fall back on. I would like a management/business role after. I would love to work my way up the ladder at the hospital that I work at or becoming the director of a nursing home. I am even thinking about starting my own home health agency or staffing recruitment agency for health facilities looking for travel nurses or CNA’s. I found a school that lets me do my entire health administration degree online so while nursing plus health administration seems like a big course load the fact I can do it online completely helps some since my nursing classes are in person.

[@shlandriaterriell8624]

Krista, I never comment on youtube videos but I am so drawn to do so now. Thank you so much! This was the best 20min pf my life it feels like!😂 I was enrolled at college after my AA and planned to minor in health science (in which I finished Fall 2021) and I was then planning to complete a minor in psychology and then apply to my school’s Nursing program February 2022. As the time got closer, the more studying I did for my teas I realized I was not as passionate as I was when I first started this journey. Over our Christmas break I did a lot of thinking and researching. Let’s just say I am so glad my brain did not explode! I was so overwhelmed with information. I wanted to change my major but I didn’t know what to, I researched and researched and the only other health related majors my school had were health informatics, speech, or health admin. I chose health administration, in which I realized when I was younger I said I would be anyway. I then tried to look up videos on youtube about the major and realized that not a lot of people talk about it like nursing. Thankfully I found your video and you just helped me realize that I really want to do this! I said that even switching majors to health admin, I could always apply to pa school or a masters program. You really helped me solidify my thoughts. I can breathe! I just wanted to take the time out to say thanks you! God bless you and I wish you the best. So far, today classes just started and I’m taking accounting (love it so far), health care systems, cornerstone, and microeconomics for undergrad. Please continue to post! I would love to stay updated. Again, I know this is long but this is how much you helped out. Blessings!💕

Hello Krista, planning on starting my Healthcare administration program in a few months. Am just confused why most of the schools am looking at are giving a maximum of 15 weeks to complete an entire bachelor's degree. I thought it was four years at most so am not sure if it's ok for me to jump in on it? Again, is the CAHME certification for states only or all states? Lastly, i have a bachelor's from Africa, do you think i could just go and have my MHA or would you advise i start from scratch. My bachelor's is in English language and has nothing to do with anything health or management.

My school has AACSB which is the International the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-the leading accreditation agency for business schools in the United States. Less than 5 percent of all business schools worldwide meet AACSB International's demanding standards. (I copied that off my schools website lol).

Hey Krista, I just came across your videos while trying to decide if I should get a Masters in Health Administration. Initially, I was going to go towards med school, then I switched to a PhD (So I got a masters in Biological Sciences), and now, I am actually considering going towards Health administration. However, I have a medical condition that limits me physically. Basically, I can't overexert myself (Being on my feet for long hours, having constant stress like a surgeon would, etc.). So I was wondering if you could help me better understand how physically demanding careers are for someone with an MHA degree? Can I get a job in this field where I have comfortable work/work hours and a good salary? I figured you would know more than me having already begun the degree so I appreciate any information you could provide.

Hi this was really informative for me I wanted to ask I am going to pursue my MS in USA next year September I have done my Hospital administration graduation and MBA from India in hospital administration can you suggest best feels I can do my MS into to further get good job opportunities

[@jennybethhumann7912]

I know that MPH is more sciency based - but what about MPH in healthcare admin? I was accepted into the following programs: MPH in healthcare management, MHA, and MS in healthcare management. The curriculum is so similar in all of these and I'm so conflicted on which to choose!!

[@KristaCannady]

Both of those are going to be much more analytical focused than the MHA. If I were you, I would set up informational zoom calls which each of the program directors and get more information!! :)

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

[@sadcheem111]

Hey there, I'm an undegrad biomedical science student currently in Australia. What classes do you recommend I take on the side for healthcare administration? I study biology as my core and I'll major in something biology related (thinking biotech rn), but I have about 6 classes I can choose that are free reign. Is accounting worth it? Any economics classes of note? Perhaps finance?

[@sadcheem111]

Sidenote: I plan to apply for an MHA degree after working for a couple years, if it matters

[@KristaCannady]

100% finance classes would be great! Also any statistical analysis classes that will help you with excel. Medical terminology class would be helpful. Accounting and economics are good too, but they can be pretty difficult so I wouldn't stress yourself with those!

Can you do a lot with only a BHA?

I’m so glad I came across this

Me too🥰

Wow, here I am watching this again two years later. Finally “ready” to go to grad school.

[@mykalafoster3010]

My undergrad degree is Health Systems Management, but it’s fairly new. So people don’t really know about it.

[@KristaCannady]

Yessss we have that program at my school! That's great!

[@mykalafoster3010]

@@KristaCannady wow!! Did they give y’all any insight on some jobs that we can have and do you have to do a mandatory internship?

[@Music4Life4035]

How does one become a healthcare administrator? I currently have an associates of science degree and was considering Nursing but idk anymore. Is it possible to do it online?

[@sarahybrizuela1571]

What comes after an MHA or MBA in Healthcare degree? I mean, how can I grow in the field? Is there an additional degree I would need to complete? I’ll appreciate your answer!

[@KristaCannady]

Anything you want! You don't have to get anything else if you don't want to. but of course you can get a phd, md, whatever you want.

[@SwethaY]

Loved your video! It was so helpful, especially since there aren't many videos on healthcare admin here on KZbin. I'm currently getting my public health degree alongside a business minor. I also plan on doing my MPH. Do you think I will still be able to get jobs as a healthcare admin since I'm minoring in business and also since my focus area of my PH major is in healthcare admin?

[@KristaCannady]

Yes you shouldnt have a problem at all! Thanks for watching :)

[@SwethaY]

@@KristaCannady Great, thank you! :)

[@lasyapriya1180]

Hi Swetha, would like to get some more info on this if you’re already into it! Would help a lot

[@kelseydessin2027]

is it possible to get a bachelors in public health & a masters in health administration?

[@msjenn727]

Loved the video 💕 I had a question for you...Could I have a career in human resources with a bachelor's in healthcare administration?

[@KristaCannady]

Yes definitely!! :) Thank you!

[@chanmarr8118]

I asked a question a while back. I was wondering what job should I go for with a bachelors in HCA. I was told to try this major and I did my research. But Idk where to start. I thought it would be straight forward and I could work a job with at least $50,000 right out of college but it’s been difficult and I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. What should I expect with my experience level and degree in terms of salary and jobs??

[@KristaCannady]

That's a really hard question because it depends on SO much. Your city and the opportunities around you, your experience, your interview skills, your resume, etc etc etc. A very basic answer would be 50k with a bachelor's degree! But honestly I dont know! I hope this helps!

[@chanmarr8118]

@@KristaCannady It’s does help, thank you. At least I know $50,000. I’m in the NYC area, btw.
