Administrative assistants: fewer job openings
Article Abstract:
A survey of 250 administrators by Hospitals magazine indicates that the opportunities for hospital administrators to advance to chief executive officer positions have decreased. Reasons for the decline in available CEO positions include an increasing number of physicians entering management and a trend toward contracting out rather than internal expansion. Several quoted hospital managers are fostering professional growth of their vice-presidents by delegating additional responsibilities and offering expanded management training.
