my interest in hospital adminstration

I am very much interested in hospiatl adminstration because
My days in the physiotherapy department often made me think about the prevention of injuries as well as the injuries themselves. I already doubted my future career choice as a physiotherapist. Although I loved the science of it and helping people, the lack of variety within the field and its limited options for growth bothered me. I needed a career that helped a large number of people, emphasized prevention and tertiary care, and would continually challenge and motivate me to improve. Knowing that I really did not want to pursue physiotherapy as I had originally planned, my thoughts wandered to the area of Hospital administration.
My first true Introductions to the Hospital Administration arena came in a class offered through the social preventive medicine (SPM) and as I listened to experts speak about difficulties in managing a Hospital, I was intrigued. The world of "capitation," "rationing of care," and Medicaid fascinated me, as I saw the range of problems that Hospital Administrators were trying to solve in innovative ways. This one semester class provided me with a basic but thorough understanding of the issues faced in health care today. In the last two years I have continued to learn about Hospital Administration both through coursework and work in the Hospital.
As student and member of SVIMS University which is organized to help the people in process of OP registration, help desk, public relations and counseling the patients for better governance of out patient department, by a committed people. In my work, I found there is a great deal more to medical care than the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
All these activities confirmed my growing interest in Administration, outcomes and effectiveness and quality of care, particularly within the private/managed care sector. These are my strongest interests because I believe they are fundamental to our nation’s health. We must achieve efficiency and access without sacrificing quality. Tata institute of social science would help me achieve my goals of
Furthering my public health education through the specialize coursework offered as part of its hospital administration program.
