Whether you’re in high school thinking about the medical field, a recent high school graduate, a college student ready to change majors, or an adult wanting a career change, medical school may be the answer to your dreams.
Medical school, however, isn’t easy. There’s a lot of work involved. Late night study dates, hands on medical training, and tons of scientific facts to remember. And if you decide to become a doctor, surgeon, or specialist, you must be able to stomach blood, cutting open a live person, mending broken bones, and so much more.
But what about those of us who want to work in the medical field and not doctor? What about those of us who want to make a difference in the lives of a patient but don’t have the stomach for blood, knives, or other medical procedures?
Do we simply give up working in the medical field? Not at all.
There are many hands on careers in the medical field that don’t involve doctoring. In fact, The Institute of Allied Medical Professions can offer you a career as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer, an entry-level Medical Assistant, an entry-level Radiographer, or a Radiation Therapist.
Come back on Wednesday. We’ll be talking a little bit more about being a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer: what it is, what it entails, and where you can find work.
