Healthcare providers who wish to advance in the clinical areas of health and medical care might choose a master's degree in clinical research or public health. Graduate schools also offer a master's degree in various nursing specialties. Health and medical professionals who desire to manage a hospital or healthcare facility might wish to pursue a doctoral degree.
