Objectives Students will: Conduct a personality inventory. Describe the role of professional organization in a career major area. Explore a potential health science career path in at least one of the following health care services: Diagnostic, Therapeutic, Informational, and Environmental. Identify and explore the two career majors in the health cluster

Choosing a Career Choosing a career involves making some complex decisions. It is important to focus on matching your interests, abilities, and needs with a career that fits them well. You might start by asking yourself questions such as: What am I really like? What are my strengths / weaknesses? What might I want to be doing in one year? Five years? Ten years?

Health Careers Workers in this field often get a high level of personal satisfaction from helping people in need. Health care workers are in high demand, and the supply is currently lower than desired. As a result: Many jobs are available. Many jobs offer high pay. Scheduling is flexible Job security is high. Competition is low

Health Careers When researching health careers it is important to understand the: Duties of the job Educational requirements Job outlook Average yearly income Ability to progress in the career level to higher paying positions Pros and cons of the career

Education Levels Education may involve different levels of study. The level of education needed varies for each health care career. Health occupations education (HOE) programs can prepare a person for entry-level work after graduation or even while still in school. An associate’s degree involves two years of training for a specific career and is usually offered at a community college or a technical or career school. Other higher education degrees are typically offered at a college or university. A bachelor’s degree usually requires four or more years of study A master’s degree, one or more years beyond a bachelor’s degree A doctorate, two to six years beyond a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

Credentials and Accreditation Credentials ensure that workers have the vital skills and are competent, which helps to protect patients. Accreditation certifies that a program of study meets or exceeds a minimum standard of quality.

Types of Credentials Certification states that the worker has fulfilled the education and performance standards and is qualified to do the job. With registration, the names of people who are qualified to work in a career are kept on an official list. The list is called a “registry.” Licensure is established by law and is mandatory. A government agency authorizes people to work in select careers. Requirements may vary from state-to-state. Usually involves passing a state board test and maintaining certain standards.

College Requirements Minimum ACT scores vary by institution Most health care programs require prerequisites before one can be accepted This typically includes: English --Chemistry Math --Computers Anatomy --Psychology Speech

If you fail to meet minimum scores for English and Math (typically 17 or 18), you will be required to take remedial classes You must pay tuition for these classes, but the credit will not transfer to other universities.

Professional Development Even after becoming employed, a person needs to continue to get more education. In many health care careers, Continuing Education Units, or CEU’s, are required to renew licenses or to stay certified or registered.

Trends Because of high costs, smaller facilities use multi-competent or multi-skilled workers who are trained to perform a variety of skills. Entrepreneur is an individual who organizes, manages, and assumes the risk of a business. Physicians, dentists, and optometrists who run their own practices. A therapist who travels to clients’ homes to deliver services. A medical billing specialist who gets information over the Internet and then completes the required forms at home

National Health Care Skill Standards Developed to indicate the knowledge and skills of health care workers primarily at the entry and technical levels. Divided into 6 groups. Health Care Core Standards Therapeutic/Diagnostic Core Standards Therapeutic Cluster Standards Diagnostic Cluster Standards Information Services Cluster Standards Environmental Services Cluster Standards

Career Levels Aide or Assistant: 1 or more years of training on-the-job, in the classroom, or a combination of both. Technician: 2-year associate’s degree or 3-4 years of on-the-job training. Technologist or Therapist: 3-4 years of college plus work experience. Usually a bachelor’s degree, and sometimes a master’s degree, is required.
