I completed my master of science health science with a concentration in healthcare administration hoping it would help me advance within the healthcare world. I’ve been a Sonographer for about 14 years, the last 10 with the same company. I’ve had no luck transitioning into administration/leadership because all my experience is in imaging. What can I do to make myself more appealing to hiring managers?

Not sure where you're located, but in our area most get a part-time job doing anything front-desk or admin related so they see you know computers, work in an office setting, etc. That might be the hangup: the fact that you simply dont have the regular office experience. You may have to start at a lower level than desired and work your way back up?

I'd also recommend thinking outside the box.. at jobs like Case Management (thats what I do). Look at careers for your local MCO'S or programs like Day programs, nursing facilities, or a nonprofit. I believe that would give you the best chance for the move. Nonprofits dont pay competitively but they can open doors for you. ❤️
