Most hospital administrators in the United States are nonphysicians. Physicians wanting to become more involved in managerial matters are now challenging these laypeople. This article examines the issues associated with laypeople and physicians as hospital administrators. It looks at the history of how each group has evolved in the administration of hospitals. It also reviews the differences between the two groups which might provide some insight to their unique perspectives. The authors then take the position that laypeople make better administrators but still advocate for the development of continuing competencies for the health administration professional no matter which group they belong.
