Embark on a career in the busy field of health care. The best aspect of this vocation is variety—no two days are the same. You’ll put every skill you’ve learned to use on a daily basis: critical thinking, communication, human relations, and organization.
Start in an entry-level position at a doctor’s office, clinic or hospital, or work in reception at an allied health practitioner’s office, such as a chiropractor, dentist, massage therapist, acupuncturist or veterinarian.
"We do a six-week practicum here which is awesome. It really prepares you for what you're going into, learning terminology, so you do have rapport with physicians and you have their respect, and at a pretty good cost compared to other schools."
