| Among today's fastest-growing and most exciting career areas is health care, and the good news is that one doesn't need to be a doctor to enter the field. Thousands of people already work in this industry, and employment opportunities are expected to grow faster than most businesses in the near future. Health care jobs demand people with talents and skills of all types, and offer numerous possibilities to those interested in joining this rewarding field. "Career Opportunities in Health Care, Third Edition" profiles more than 80 specific jobs - seven new to this edition - in 18 key branches of this field, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, administration, clinical laboratory services, therapy, geriatrics, pharmaceuticals, radiology, education, and speech and hearing. Each profile has been updated to reflect the latest trends in training, job duties, salaries, advancement prospects, and more. The glossary and extensive appendixes listing schools, associations, organizations, publications, and periodicals have also been completely updated. The career profiles include: Health education teacher; Medical school dean; Medical Web site marketing director; Nursing school instructor; Oncologist; Personal trainer; and Plastic surgeon. |

 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.
