Healthcare Industry Careers It can be overwhelming to understand what opportunities are available after graduation with an MHA degree. Here we provide some ideas about where your career can go from here. Associations Healthcare associations exist to support the interests of people working in that profession and serve the public good. These organizations champion their members by providing resources, information, and opportunities to help them advance their careers and better public health. Examples of healthcare associations: American Medical Association (AMA) American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Illinois Health and Hospital Association (IHA) Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
Consulting Healthcare consulting companies provide health organizations with professional guidance across a wide range of services from regulatory compliance to data management to revenue generation. Healthcare consultants serve all facets of the healthcare industry, including hospitals and health systems, home care, and hospice. Examples of consulting groups: Accenture Huron PwC Sg2
Insurance companies are an essential component of the healthcare industry here in the states. Recent changes in policy and trends have created new opportunities for insurance companies to be at the forefront of innovation and population health. Many are developing tools that help people stay healthy and reduce the risk (and cost) of chronic illness. Fellowships and positions as internal consultants are great opportunities for new MHA grads and provide interesting and exciting future careers. Examples of insurance companies: Blue Cross Blue Shield (HCSC) Aetna Insurance Cigna Insurance
Hospitals & Health Systems Hospitals & health systems conduct healthcare operations and management within the medical center environment. They focus on forming a framework of business administration on an operational & financial level and exert leadership activities. They provide high-level strategic planning and system functions including marketing, IT, HR, Safety & Process Improvement, etc. Examples of hospital & health systems: UI Health Northwestern Medicine Rush
