| Health care is one of the fastest growing and most exciting fields today. Over the next three years, career opportunities in this field are projected to grow at a rate faster than that of most other industries. The industry is not limited to nurses and medical doctors; there are dozens of employment possibilities available for talented and skilled individuals in such areas as administration, clinical laboratory services, and pharmaceuticals. In Career Opportunities in Health Care, Second Edition, readers will find up-to-date information on more than eighty specific positions in eighteen key areas of the industry. In addition to updated profiles, there are ten new profiles featured in this edition, including Chiropractor, Homeopathic Doctor, Medical Writer, Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Osteopathic Doctor, and Surgeon. The glossary and appendixes have also been completely updated for this new edition. |

 Not All The Information You Need!, May 7, 2009 |
|
I was disappointed with this book. One of the fastest growing jobs was absent, that of Medical Assistant. All nurses make care plans. The description of the RN following doctors' orders, soothing, and caring is what the profession is trying to downplay now. Nurses work for nurses, not doctors, and are highly skilled team members. Prospects for Nursing School Instructors are excellent, not just good. There is not only a shortage of nurses but of faculty, and without faculty, fewer people can be accepted to school. All MDs and DOs do a residency if they want to treat patients, not just an "internship" with residency for specialization. All medical fields are specialties. The "internship" (old term) is just the first year of residency, PGY-1 (post-graduate year 1). For one description, you are encouraged to write for more information. Really? This book is in its third edition? What happened to the good ol' World Wide Web? A lot of information is missing in the school listing, too. New Jersey, for instance, has many schools offering training in health care careers. Additionally, the book is very dry and boring, in my view. You'd do better to buy (don't know if I can mention other titles) one with "explosion" in the title. The author specializes in work with celebrities and, I believe, should stick with this subject matter.
