I am a 21 year old female living in NY, I have just completed my B.S. in Health care Administration and am now looking to specify what I want to do as in a career. I was interested in the field of Patient Advocacy because I am a people person, and helping people is something I want to be a main part of my career. What steps do I need to take to go towards a career in Patient Advocacy ? Is there a program that is a couple of months long or will I have to get another degree ? What exams are needed to be Certified ? And what is the average salary for a Patient Advocate with my specifications ? Thank you in advance for all the helpful information.
