What Can You Do With a Doctor of Health Science Degree?

The health care industry is experiencing remarkable job growth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS ), health care jobs are expected to grow 13% from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations.

As the industry continues to expand, professionals are increasingly needed to lead in various health-related fields, including clinical practice, education, administration, and research. Learn how a Doctor of Health Science (DHSc) can help you advance in your career.

Who Is a Good Candidate to Earn a DHSc?

“Anyone who currently holds a master’s degree and works in the health care field is a good candidate to earn a DHSc,” says Christopher Gallucci , DHSc, academic department chair for the public health and health education programs at Purdue Global.

A Doctor of Health Science is a terminal degree, meaning it is the highest achievable degree in an academic field or professional discipline. Most often, someone seeking a terminal degree is in pursuit of career advancement either within their current place of employment or in a new organization.

“For example, a clinician or public health professional who aspires to assume a higher-level administrative or leadership role may consider this degree,” Gallucci says. “Another example is someone teaching undergraduate courses who wants to teach at the graduate level or obtain an administrative position within higher education.”

DHSc vs PhD: Which Should You Pursue?

It all depends on where your interests and goals lie.

“One of the main differences between a PhD and a DHSc is the research component,” Gallucci says. “Although there may be some crossover, a PhD program sets students up to become experts in a more narrowly defined practice or discipline. The DHSc, however, focuses less on research and more on practical applications.”

Purdue Global's DHSc program focuses on professional practice.

“Although research is not the central focus of the DHSc pathway, it is still important in the sense that it helps professionals to remain current in the field,” Gallucci says. “Newly discovered paradigms may be adopted by those in the professional world and then tested and honed through experience and practice. If a PhD contributes to the field, a DHSc polishes,” he says.

The length of the program is another differentiator. A PhD in Health Science can take anywhere from 4 to 7 years to complete. A DHSc program can be completed in as few as 2.5 years based on a full-time degree plan.

“The DHSc may be a more practical choice that could allow graduates to advance in their careers much sooner, with less student debt, and with far greater flexibility in terms of career paths,” Gallucci says. 

What Do You Learn in a DHSc Program?

Students in a DHSc degree program take a set of core courses that examine health care policy, issues and trends, leadership, and advanced research methods. At Purdue Global, you will also complete an applied project that addresses a challenge or need in health care policy, administration, higher education, or clinical practice.

Graduate-level health sciences micro-credentials and electives enable you to customize your Purdue Global degree. You can specialize in such areas as global health, health care administration, data systems, and more.

“This flexibility to choose electives or a micro-credential that aligns with their career goals allows students to maximize the value they receive,” Gallucci says.

Jobs You Can Pursue with a Health Sciences Degree

1. pharmaceutical sales representative.

Pharmaceutical sales representatives [hyperlink to CG when ready] offer medications and other medical supplies to healthcare facilities like hospitals and clinics. They research the prescription needs of doctors and healthcare professionals and then sell and promote products, often traveling to do so. These representatives may host product seminars for clients and often attend pharmaceutical trade shows and conferences.

Common skills for the role include the following:

• Communication and negotiation skills
• Presentation skills
• Assertiveness
• Understanding of pharmaceutical products for sale
• Knowledge of industry market trends

2. Patient Educator

Patient educators work alongside clinical staff to help patients understand treatment plans. They answer patient questions and discuss expectations before and after treatment is administered. To perform their jobs effectively, patient educators must also communicate regularly with doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers about how to best treat and care for patients.

Patient educators often develop skills in the following areas:

• Treatment plan knowledge
• Empathy and cultural awareness
• Understanding of medical technology
• Listening skills and attentiveness
• Teamwork and collaboration

3. Clinical Technologist

Many—if not all—healthcare centers employ clinical technologists to assist doctors and other staff with diagnostic procedures. These individuals use medical equipment and technology to help diagnose patients, test for disease or illness, collect biological samples, and more. Some clinical technologists might specialize in a field like phlebotomy or immunology, while others perform more general tasks like recording patient height, weight, or blood pressure.

For clinical technologists to succeed in their role, they should be skilled in operating and maintaining equipment and develop a detail-oriented mindset to yield accurate test results.

 4. Clinical Director

A clinical director plays an indispensable role in supervising a healthcare facility’s overall operation. These leaders employ various management strategies to ensure that patients are properly cared for. Directing responsibilities often involve hiring and training staff, managing finances, and executing on big-picture goals to optimize business performance.

Clinical directors need to understand how clinical procedures and policies factor into their role, applying skills in organizational planning, leadership, clinical knowledge, and effective communication.

5. Clinical Manager

Clinical managers often carry out administrative tasks set by clinical directors. Their responsibilities may include onboarding new hires, developing training materials, organizing patient health records, or syncing with physicians, nurses, and other staff members as needed. Even though clinical managers might not be in daily contact with patients, their efforts help to keep clinics, hospitals, and other facilities functioning smoothly.

Clinical managers should be confident in a leadership role, exercising skills in communication, clinical computer software, and human resources.

6. Nursing Home Manager

Nursing homes and assisted living centers often require sensitive, empathetic care of residents. These patients can experience a wide variety of health challenges as they strive to live comfortably. Nursing home managers are responsible for fostering that comfort through planning budgets, maintaining effective patient treatment plans, organizing nursing staff schedules, and consistently training employees on best practices.

Nursing home managers can thrive in their career as long as they apply their skills in interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and leadership.

7. Resident Care Coordinator

Resident care coordinators —sometimes called “residential care facilitators”—focus on providing the best possible care to patients in assisted living facilities. Specific day-to-day tasks of a resident care coordinator include creating patient care policies, instructing nurses on administering treatment plans, and communicating with staff members to establish standardized performance goals.

Resident care coordinators should be equally skilled in business administration and healthcare management. Though they hold a high-level position, resident care coordinators should always have strong empathy toward their coworkers and their patients.

8. Patient Experience Manager

Whether they work in a hospital, doctor’s office, mental health clinic, or another similar environment, patient experience managers devote their time to educating and supporting patients. Depending on their patients’ health situations, patient experience managers may develop treatment plans, encourage patients during occupational or physical therapy, or act as liaisons between patients and care providers. Patient experience managers also keep up-to-date records on patient progress.

Common skills for patient experience managers include the following:

• Understanding of patient management software
• Knowledge of and compliance with healthcare regulations

9. Care Manager

Care managers assist patients through their treatment processes, therapy regimens, and post-procedure recovery. Most care managers collaborate closely with doctors, surgeons, therapists, and other similar professionals to learn how they can best support patients. Care managers are primarily concerned with their patients’ medical well-being, often helping them navigate the details of various medical services and resources.

For the best patient outcomes, care managers should develop skills in communication, patient education, and problem-solving.

10. Case Manager

Case managers perform similar tasks to care managers but tend to focus more on the administrative aspects of patient health. Most case management work involves helping patients find the best treatment plans, educating patients on health insurance policies, and referring patients to relevant social services as needed.

Patients benefit the most when their case managers are skilled in navigating complex healthcare systems and have a thorough understanding of healthcare providers.

Exploring the Boundless Opportunities in Health Sciences Careers

As you prepare for a career in health sciences, spend time reflecting on your individual interests and professional goals. Do you like working with technology? What about serving in a leadership role? Would you rather be part of a team or spend one-on-one time with patients?

Answering these types of questions can help you find an enriching, fulfilling job that plays to your strengths. A varied skill set in health sciences could even help you pivot to other similar jobs so you can find the role best suited to you.

U.S. News Releases 2024 Best Graduate Programs Rankings

Find the top-ranked graduate schools in business, education, law, nursing and other fields.

U.S. News Ranks Best Graduate Schools

Photo Library

To help prospective graduate students find a school that fits their needs, U.S. News released the 2024 rankings for multiple graduate fields.

Depending on the job or field, earning a graduate degree may lead to higher earnings, career advancement and specialized skill development.

But with several types of degrees and hundreds of graduate schools, it can be difficult to narrow down the options. To help prospective graduate students find a school that fits their needs, U.S. News released its 2024 Best Graduate Schools rankings today. They evaluate business, education, fine arts, health, law, library studies, nursing, public affairs, science, and social sciences and humanities graduate programs. Medical school and engineering rankings are not being released at this time.

A notable methodology change includes a new salary indicator based on profession in the business rankings.

Additionally, for the first time in four years, there are new rankings for a blend of doctoral and master's programs in audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pharmacy, nurse midwifery and speech-language pathology. Graduate programs in nurse anesthesia and social work are also ranked for the first time since 2016 and 2022, respectively. Those and other specialty rankings are based on reputation ratings from scholars at other surveyed schools.

Read each program's specific methodology for the most detailed explanations of all the changes. The rankings are one source of information among many that prospective college students can use to inform their college decision. Below is a summary of the top-ranked schools in four major graduate program areas:

Best Law Schools

Best business schools, best nursing schools, best education schools.

Among the top 10 law schools . Yale Law School in Connecticut and California-based  Stanford Law School shared the top spot again. The  University of Chicago Law School in Illinois maintained its No. 3 rank, followed by a four-way tie at No. 4: Duke University School of Law in North Carolina, Harvard Law School in Massachusetts, the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the University of Virginia School of Law .

Columbia Law School in New York ranked No. 8 again, while there was a three-way tie for No. 9: New York University School of Law , Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law in Illinois and the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor Law School .

Looking beyond the top 10, multiple law schools moved up in the rankings. William & Mary Law School in Virginia, for instance, jumped nine spots from a tie at No. 45 to a five-way tie at No. 36.

U.S. News also ranked 13 law specialties: business/corporate, clinical training, constitutional, contracts/commercial, criminal, dispute resolution, environmental, health care, intellectual property, international, legal writing, tax and trial advocacy. (You can filter by specialty on the  main ranking page .)

Meanwhile, in the  part-time law school rankings – which consists of law schools with at least 20 part-time students enrolled in fall 2022 and fall 2023 – the top three stayed the same. The  Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., is once again at the top while D.C.-based  George Washington University Law School , now No. 3, switched places with the  Fordham University School of Law in New York City, which claimed second place.

Previously ranked at No. 3 and No. 6 respectively, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and Stanford Graduate School of Business took the top spot in this year's full-time MBA program rankings . Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business moved down from their previous places in the top two to tie at No. 3.

While the top 10 mostly consists of the same schools as last year, both the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business joined those ranks this year. UC Berkeley rose from a three-way tie at No. 11 to a three-way tie at No. 7, while UVA moved up four spots from No. 14 to a tie at No. 10.

Farther down the full-time MBA rankings, there were some big changes. For example, Pitt's Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business soared 39 spots from a tie at No. 86 to a tie at No. 47.

Meanwhile, the very top of the part-time MBA rankings looks similar to last year, with the same schools in the top 5: UChicago, UC Berkeley, Northwestern, NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and the Anderson School of Management at the University of California—Los Angeles. But UChicago took the No. 1 spot from UC Berkeley this year.

Moving up from No. 2, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in Maryland tied with Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing in Georgia to claim the top spot in this year's nursing master's program rankings. Duke University School of Nursing in North Carolina climbed up by one to claim the third spot.

Johns Hopkins ranked No. 1, as it did last year, in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program rankings. George Mason University School of Nursing in Virginia – which reported more graduates and resources per faculty – soared from a four-way tie at No. 39 to take the No. 2 spot. Duke tied with the University of Washington School of Nursing to round out the top three.

Duke also ranked No. 1 in all of the ranked nursing master's nursing practice specialties, including administration, family, both acute and primary care adult gerontology, and mental health.

Once again, Teachers College, Columbia University in New York was No. 1 in the graduate education schools rankings. This year, however, it tied with the University of Wisconsin—Madison School of Education , which climbed two spots.

The University of Michigan—Ann Arbor's School of Education dropped from the top position to tie with the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies at No. 3. UCLA was previously tied at No. 7.

U.S. News also ranks nine education specialties, with the College of Education at Michigan State University claiming the top spot in the following categories: curriculum and instruction, educational administration, elementary teacher education, higher education administration and secondary teacher education.
