What Is It

What is a career?

A career is an occupation or profession that requires special training.

Health Careers are designed to familiarize students with the various careers in the
medical profession and allied health services. Students will learn skills necessary for their
career path, which in this case is in healthcare. These include working with others,
communication skills, legal and ethical responsibilities, cultural considerations in industry,
problem solving, decision making, accepting personal responsibility, and self-management.
Health Career Planning refers to an individual’s plan to make a career choice,
growing in the chosen career or making a career shift. Career planning involves the very
important step of self-assessment.
Self-assessment is necessary to understand one’s capabilities and drawbacks. The
various career options should be explored in detail to find a fit between one’s abilities and
the opportunities provided by a career option. It involves continuous learning and
improvement to build and grow in the chosen career path.
