Clinical Manager

Duties and Responsibilities:

A clinical manager is responsible for overseeing the medical and administrative operations of clinics and other medical facilities, and for supervising both clinical and administrative staff.  The role of clinical manager is similar to that of a practice administrator, but it includes recruitment, supervision, and evaluation of medical staff such as physicians, nurses, and orderlies as well as administrative employees such as billing clerks and medical coders.

Average Salary: $76,000

Education:

The position of clinical manager generally requires at least a bachelor’s degree in a field related to medical administration or health care administration. A clinical director should also have several years of experience working in a medical environment such as a clinic or doctor’s office.  People in clinical management or directorial positions generally work in the facilities they supervise, where they can observe procedures, interact with patients, and address staff concerns when needed.

 I would like to do this job because it seems like a fun challenge.
