AMA's Health Care Careers Directory Expands
Information provided by the AMA for distribution purposes

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.

To order your copy, call (800) 621-8335 or see www.ama-assn.org/go/mededproducts. To receive a copy of the order form, send an e-mail to meded@ama-assn.org. For fastest service, be sure to specify the phrase "HCCD" in the e-mail's subject line.
