|
Are you interested in learning more about careers in health care? Or seeking
a list of health professions' educational programs? Then turn to the new
2008-2009 edition of the Health Care Careers Directory, from the American
Medical Association (AMA). Formerly known as the Health Professions Career and
Education Directory, the new Directory now includes dentist, nurse, optometrist,
pharmacist, physician, podiatrist, psychologist, veterinarian, and veterinary
technologist and technician.
"The Directory is now more than ever the number-one resource for information on
the diverse career opportunities in the health care field," said Paul H. Rockey,
MD, MPH, director of the AMA Division of Graduate Medical Education.
This updated edition includes information on 8,119 educational programs covering
77 health care careers, including the top 10 professions (by size). Program data
are displayed in a chart format, allowing you to quickly and easily compare
various programs and find the one you're seeking. Chart data include class
capacity, start dates, program length(s), tuition, academic award(s) granted,
and availability of evening/weekend courses.
In addition to a complete listing of all accredited programs, with program name,
address, and contact information, the Directory includes a handy description of
each profession's job duties, required education, and average salary.
