Healthcare Support Jobs Overview
The rapidly growing healthcare sector offers plenty of jobs and not all positions require an advanced degree. If you’re interested in working in the healthcare industry without spending many years working towards a degree, consider looking for healthcare support jobs. Healthcare support staff help ensure that a health practice runs smoothly by assisting healthcare professionals.
Healthcare support jobs can give you an opportunity to work close with patients and provide more hands-on care than busy healthcare professionals, who don’t always have enough time to spend with patients. This makes healthcare support a good career choice if you’re people oriented. It’s also a good way to try out the healthcare field before advancing to a position such as a nurse, doctor, or physician assistant.
Healthcare support staff can help with:
- medical tasks, such as performing simple tests and processing lab samples
- administrative duties, such as writing down a patient’s medical history or organizing charts
- practical help, such as serving meals and dressing patients in nursing homes or hospitals
The number of jobs in healthcare is expected to grow about 13% over the next few years, which is much better growth than most other professions. These are some examples of popular jobs in healthcare support:
