Careers in Healthcare
When you think of careers in the healthcare field, what comes to mind immediately are nurses and doctors; but, there are so many other careers that you and I might not think of immediately. For instance, in the hearing health field, you can study to become a Hearing Instrument Practitioner. They provide services such as hearing assessment using an audiometer (or other methods) to identify hearing issues and select, prepare, alter, adapt, verify, sell and distribute hearing instruments. Audiologists – they provide assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and preventive measures. In the medical imaging diagnostics field, you can become a radiologist. This physician specializes in interpreting the results of imaging exams; some are known as interventional radiologists. They are responsible for the delivery of image-guided procedures and therapies.
According to Statistics Canada, health care and social assistance added 20,000 workers in June of this year. This industry's employment level was virtually unchanged from 12 months earlier.
