Synopsis

This book offers a distinct advantage over other books of this type. It is two books in one - a comprehensive Career Guide plus a dynamic Job Finder. First, it presents comprehensive health care occupational descriptions and then provides resources to locate job announcements, job hotlines, job fairs, placement services, directories, associations, and job related books. This dual format permits comparisons between specialities and offers insight into qualifications, cross training potential, and pay. You can easily locate occupations with similar skills and required training. Opportunities abound for all levels of education from a high school diploma to Doctorate Degrees. Each occupational description lists required education and/or on-the-job training.

About this title

From the Publisher

Bookhaven Press LLC
This completely revised second edition steers readers to high growth health care occupations and provides contact information for job vacancies and occupational exploration. Many health care service workers also use this book to explore related occupations for viable career option with advancement potential.

You will find detailed information for all occupations, including: working conditions, training and advancement, employment opportunities, qualifications, required certifications and licenses, related Associations and Societies, job outlook and earnings.

This new edition describes the many changes that have taken place in the health care field since the first edition was released. Many Associations and employers now have web sites (listed in this edition) that provide abundant career information including job vacancies. The Department of Labor projects that jobs in health care will grow by more than 20 percent to over 3,100,000 NEW JOBS by 2005.

Updating this edition created a considerable challenge due to the explosive growth in the Internet. Many traditional resources have opted to post their occupational information and job lists on the Internet. Our editor, Erin McMichael Taylor, completed an exhaustive six month search to update this edition's resources to included these valuable contacts.

Our editors interviewed a health care professional for each primary occupational group. These interviews lead off the chapter for that health care occupational group and provide a candid insiders view of that profession.

LIBRARY JOURNAL said it best in their review of this title, "With the growth of the healthcare industry, 'Health Care Job Explosion' will be a boon to those seeking jobs...Recommended."

From the Author

3,100,000 NEW JOBS projected in health services employment.
The health care job market is exploding! Turn to the "help wanted" pages in any newspaper. In most cases, the largest number of listings will be for medical-related positions.

The range of options, necessary skills, and training opportunities is amazing. This diversity creates opportunities for almost anyone. There are entry level positions requiring only a high school diploma up to physicians who must complete 4 years of medical school and from one to six years of graduate medical education.

My all new second editon of Health Care Job Explosion! covers all major occupational groups and includes a comprehensive chapter on home health care, updated resources, and an expanded selection of interviews with health care workers. Internet web sites are included for most associations and societies with hundreds of job links.

This book is both a comprehensive career guide and JOB FINDER. The more than 1,000 verified job resources steer readers to where they can actually find job openings; periodicals with job ads, internet web sites, placement services, directories, associations, job fairs, and job hotlines.

It makes sense to explore the exploding health care market that will account for 20 percent of all job growth, 3,100,000 new jobs, through the year 2005.
