    1: MBA or PhD
    #2: BBA
    #3: Trade School Certificate
    #4: Trade School Certificate
    #5: Depends on what region of public health work. If records, then a high school diploma will do. If its an operational field, then a trade school certificate will do.

    Hospitality management is about tourism and hotel management, not related to medicine. See Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration for more info on hospitality management (http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/).

    Health care management is a broad way to describe a lot of different aspects of overseeing health care, from a hospital’s operations to running research centers like the CDC. See Wharton’s Health Care Management department for more info (http://hc.wharton.upenn.edu/).

    Public health generally relates to the public/governmental side of the medical or health professions. A lot of people who study this subject tend to go into policy making for the government, such as helping to make laws on Medicare, Medicaid, etc. See Johns Hopkins’s Masters of Public Health program (http://www.jhsph.edu/academics/degreeprograms/mph/).

    As far as medical and hospital administration goes, I’m really not 100% sure of the difference between the two. Administration is a very specific subtopic, and it deals with the operations of a hospital, from checking in patients, to donors, to procuring supplies, to hiring doctors/nurses/staff/etc. All of the daily activities that makes a hospital run.
