Medical Specialties
Some of the fastest growing employment opportunities with rapid advancement are in hospitals, clinics, geriatric, ambulatory, and physical therapy facilities. The current explosion in our youth population as well as the millions of baby boomers now entering late middle age promises to provide a never-ending need for healthcare professionals.
Medical Specialists are responsible for duties such as sterilizing equipment, preparing a patient for examination, assisting the doctor during an examination, performing tests, and much more.
Medical Specialists are in great demand in all geographic areas, in doctors' offices, hospitals, laboratories, and health centers. You will have many opportunities as a Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Lab Assistant, EKG Technician, or Phlebotomist. You may decide to work for a surgeon, pediatrician, or general practitioner in a private office, hospital, or diagnostic laboratory. Pharmacy Technicians work in hospitals and retail pharmacies assisting pharmacists. Pharmacy Technicians have expertise in drugs and dosages, ordering, receiving, stocking, dispensing, calculating, and pricing. Computer skills are also necessary, and they are an integral part of our training program.
