When you really care about people, when you really want to make a difference, and when you want a career with stability, respect and good earning potential, there are probably few better choices than Allied Health. Today there are an estimated 5,000,000 allied health care providers covering more than 80 different professions in the US. A great many Allied Health Care workers will be needed over the next few years to meet America’s demand.
On July 13, 2009, the New York Times reported, "Jobs in health care and those requiring postsecondary education will show the biggest gains by 2016, according to a report released by the president’s Council of Economic Advisors. Employment in health and education services — which, unlike most other industries in the current recession, remains robust — will continue to skyrocket. A subsector of health care called ‘other medical services and dentists,’ which includes home health care, outpatient care and medical laboratory positions, is projected to add the most jobs."
When you work in allied health, you are involved (directly or indirectly) with patient health. Some allied health professionals practice independently; others work as part of a health care team, providing continual evaluation and assessment of patient needs. Some of these professionals also play a major role in informing the attending clinician of the patient's progress and response to treatment.
