To help care for a rapidly aging baby boomer population, the healthcare field is expected to grow, spurring an abundance of employment opportunities in patient care, patient treatment and managed healthcare. Healthcare managers are in high demand, since they plan, direct and coordinate health services and manage healthcare professionals in various capacities.

Healthcare managers can hold a variety of different positions, such as Health Care Department Manager, Dental Officer Manager, Public Policy Analyst in Health Care, Community Relations Specialist, Clinical Trial Investigator or Health Care Analyst.
