About this event
Healthcare Administration covers how healthcare organizations are structured and managed: finances and budgeting, staffing and training, strategic management, healthcare technology, billing and insurance, and healthcare policy and regulation. How it runs: this is an individual objective test and nothing else. You take a proctored, online test of 100 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes. Study materials are not allowed, and a calculator is built into the testing platform. Each correct answer is worth one point with no penalty for wrong answers, and your test score is your result.
