I'm an Administrator of an Academic Practice. So I would say upper management. I report to the Chair that reports to the Dean.
My day is flexible compared to my Physician colleagues.
I have no typical day. Everyday is something different. This was part of the reason why I could not become a Physician. I went to Medical School and found it too methodical for my liking. That's me. I thrive in variation, and find opportunities in chaos.
If others are interested in what typical day looks like, I can start a mini-diary into my meetings, what I do and what it looks like.
Degrees- an MBA is critical. Yet, the market is saturated with them, so you have to have things that set you apart. Experience is usually coveted. It is not very easy to change industries and thrive in healthcare management.
