Healthcare is one of the fastest growing and largest industries among developed nations worldwide. In the United States, healthcare-related businesses (hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories, pharmacies, etc.) form a large part of the economy. As medical advancements are made and changes in lifestyle affect aging populations, the demand for healthcare professionals continues to increase. According to the US Department of Health Affairs, spending on healthcare spending is expected to increase by 70% over the next 10 years for every single member of the population. By seeking a career via healthcare education, students are able to set themselves up for a very promising future of employment and advancement. Graduating students who receive healthcare degrees or healthcare training should expect to see several unique advantages over students in other fields. These include such benefits as a stronger employment market for new graduates, continued anticipated growth in the employment market for the next 10-15 years, and highly competitive salaries and benefits for trained healthcare technicians and medical assistants.
While the overall healthcare industry is expected to grow, there are several outstanding professions that are leading this trend. Click on any program below to view available school programs:
