Health Care Administration Program

Combining passion with purpose, healthcare administrators use their interest in the health industry, along with their strong leadership and management skills, to make a meaningful impact on their organizations. Their roles vary from general administration to specialized department support in the areas of healthcare finance, health information, human resources and marketing.

As a student in the Health Care Administration associate of applied science degree program, your education will include courses in areas such as office management, electronic health records, business communications; healthcare management; and finance. While in school, you’ll learn the fundamental skills and gain the necessary knowledge to pursue an administrative position in healthcare.

With the training they gained at Pima Medical Institute, graduates have entered management roles in various work settings, including hospitals, physician offices, nursing and residential care facilities, outpatient care centers and insurance companies.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of medical and health service managers will grow 17 percent through 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, the healthcare industry as a whole will see an increase in demand for medical services.
