Hospital Management Career

Hospital Management is a new concept in management stream. Gone are the days when a senior doctor was generally responsible for the role of a hospital manager. But in today’s era of specialization, the term hospital has undergone sea- changes and many categories related to medical sciences and hospitals have been revamped completely. So, now we have ordinary hospitals, specialty hospitals and even super specialty hospitals depending upon the kinds of services they render to the public and the number of people they cater to, on an average.For the smooth functioning of a hospital, qualified professionals are required. As a consequence, several courses and training programmes have been developed to churn out professional hospital mangers. Such individuals are by far exceedingly well-equipped to face the growing challenges and cater to the specific requirements of modern day hospitals. Hospital Management courses are not only for the medical graduates but are also open to non-medical and non-science graduates.

Eligibility For Hospital Management

For the undergraduates there is a three year degree course i.e. Bachelor of Hospital Administration (BHA). For BHA program, the applicants should have completed their 10+2 with biology with 50% marks in aggregate.

One can also pursue a postgraduate course i.e. Masters in Hospital Administration (MHA) which is of two years' duration and is available for both medical and non-medical students. Graduates in any discipline can apply for this course. However, few institutes have their own eligibility criteria for selecting candidates.

Job Prospects For Hospital Management

Employment opportunities in this field are plenty. Fresh degree holders may start their professional career as assistant hospital administrators or as managers of non-health departments like finance. One can find employment in large corporate and public sector hospitals, international and national healthcare organizations and health insurance companies, College and Universities, Healthcare Portals, Nursing Homes, Mental Health Facilities, Pharmaceuticals and Hospital Supply Firms, Medical Software Companies and Hospital Consulting Firms. Big hospitals like Escorts Heart Institute, Apollo Hospital, Moolchand Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital etc. appoint hospital management graduates for their administration purposes. Experienced and senior hospital administrators can eventually reach the levels of CEOs in their respective organizations.
