Medical and health services managers plan, direct, and coordinate the business activities of healthcare providers. They may manage an entire facility, a specific clinical area or department, or a medical practice for a group of physicians. Their duties include hiring, scheduling, and evaluating staff; monitoring compliance with state and federal guidelines; and developing reports and budgets. Responsibilities may vary by employer. For example, managers of large facilities may focus on broad oversight, while tasks for those in small departments might include ordering medical supplies and materials.
