What's sufficient for a Med Admin. Off'r qualification

[BadEnoughDudeRescueRonny]

Hi all. It's still a few years before I can even begin the re-enlistment process, but if everything goes well, I want to re-enlist as a Medical Administration Officer should there be availabilities for this position.

I have a Master's in Sociology with my specializations being in Healthcare Policy (Medical Sociology), Mental Health Policy and Practice  and Organizational Policy, but I know that a fancy degree isn't the key to success in an officer trade, so I'm wondering what's sufficient to be an effective Med. Admin. Off'f? In the past, I've worked for quite some time in an Emergency Department of a local hospital as a Unit Aide, but besides giving me experience in civvie healthcare and how it's administered (to an extent).

Anyways, to cut to the chase, what's the best course of action to be a Medical Administration Officer? Also, if I can't get in this trade, what other options do I have, given that I want to be in the Medical branch of the Army?

Also, I'm going back to school in a year or so to get a Master's in Social Work, if this helps any.

If you're going to get a Masters of Social Work then enrol as a Social Worker. You'll likely have a better shot. Just the same, if you have your heart set on HCA, then a degree in commerce, finance, or public administration would put you in a very competitive position. You might be able to get a good portion of these written off from your previous studies.
