An estimated 2,890 medical and health services managers are currently employed in Kansas. The state faces a severe lack of qualified health care professionals, notably in its rural areas, so qualified health administration workers will continue to be in high demand in the coming years.
Health Admin Education in Kansas
Like other states, Kansas requires its medical and health services managers to hold a bachelor’s degree from an approved institution and to pass a state licensing exam. Some entry-level positions may be available to you before you have completed such requirements; however, you will need your bachelor’s and license before you can move on to management-level jobs. Your funding aid options for a health administration education in Kansas include the Kansas State Scholarships, Kansas Comprehensive Grants, Kansas Ethnic Minority Scholarships, Albert M. Lappin Scholarship, which is designated for children of American Legion Kansas Unit members, and Charles and Annette Hill Scholarships, which are designated for children of American Legionnaires who are planning on careers in management or administration.
Outlook for Health Admin Careers in Kansas
The mean annual salary for medical and health services managers in Kansas is $81,650, lower than the national average (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010 data). However, job prospects for health administration professionals in Kansas are expected to be good, especially in rural areas. Across the nation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected 16 percent growth for medical and health services management positions, a much higher rate than the national average.
