The Top Online Masters in Healthcare Degree Programs
Healthcare is an extremely broad field and encompasses a complex system which is often a sizable chunk of a nation’s economy. According to a report prepared for the United States Department of Health and Human Services, it is well known that the rate of growth of U.S. healthcare spending has actually outpaced the growth of the country’s gross domestic product, the rate of inflation, and the growth of its population. By 2015, total spending on health in the U.S. is projected to reach 20% of its GDP, or $4 trillion. Generally, this trend translates into a high demand for healthcare professionals with specialized education including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, educators, medical specialists, psychologists, and therapists.
Graduate level education in healthcare is always targeted towards an extremely specific and theoretical area of study. This can include an emphasis in things like management, nursing, or community healthcare education. The principles found in most master’s level healthcare programs can be effectively studied online, which allows professionals in the field to continue building work experience while advancing their educational credentials.
