READ THE SENERIO BEFORE WORKING THE HOMEWORK
As you complete your studies as a master's-prepared health care administrator, what role do you envision for yourself? As you know by now, there are many roles and areas of specialty from which to choose. Since you have almost completed your master's degree, imagine you have been asked by your dean to make a presentation to a group of undergraduate students considering becoming health care administrators. Your ultimate goal is to sell a health care administrator career to this group of undergraduate students by providing them an overview of health care administration and then personalizing it to how you envision health care will succeed in the next decade.
