INTRODUCTION TO OTHER CAREERS IN HEALTH CARE

Many people are involved in work that takes place in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, nursing homes, emergency care centers, and other health and science settings. Opportunities are available for persons interested in teaching, providing emergency treatment, being part of an operating room team, or working in medical record administration.

Health care facilities also offer opportunities for computer operators and programmers, accountants, receptionists, insurance reviewers, librarians, housekeepers, and stock clerks. Other positions that are part of the hospital administration team include: market researchers, fund developers, public relations personnel, and financial analysts. These individuals are just as vital to the daily operation of health care organizations as are the clinical professionals.

Jobs are available at every educational level. Some require on-the-job training while others require college or postgraduate work. Many openings are available in these diverse and interesting occupations.
