I know that you had some questions about the health care field. As you may know health care has become a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States. Ten occupations within this area are expected to be in some of the fastest growing jobs in the next few years. According to Employment Projections program few of those jobs are physician assistants, physical therapists, home health aides, occupational therapist assistants, and medical secretaries. These careers require direct contact with patients and clients. People who work in such field help bring a new babies being born, change and save lives. It is a very satisfying feeling to know that families are impacted and helped in a great way.
Another wonderful thing about health care field is that jobs are available for all education levels and experience. People can be trained for years to become physicians or have little training to take on other roles in the health care field. Medical technology has improved the survival rate of trauma victims and patient care. Although technology has increased the prices in this industry but it has made it easier to come up with diagnosis and treatment plan for patients. Having to use equipment like MRI, CT scan, or X-ray machine requires technicians, and doctors. So the technology has also helped with creating jobs within the healthcare field.
Health care workers can work in verity of environments such as hospitals, outpatient facilities, private practices, and long-term care facilities. Due to the fact that hospitals care for various types of patients requiring different kinds of treatments, surgeries, and care have become the largest employers of health workers. Nursing homes provide health-related services to patients who do not require hospital stay, so positions are available for nurses, kitchen staff, administrative clerks, and nurse aides. Physician assistants, physicians, nurse practitioners, and medical assistants can find jobs in the private sector.
