Course Description: 1.0 Continuing Education Units are available at course completion. Whenever the field of medicine is mentioned, people generally think about doctors and nurses. In fact, not that many years ago, those medical practitioners just about covered the subject. In recent years, however, the field has grown beyond imagination. In this course, we will look at Careers in Healthcare as a guide for planning an exciting future. Specialization in the medical profession has produced a need for many trained personnel in specific areas. Even physicians have specialized in one field because over the past few decades the amount of knowledge in medical practice has become so vast that one person cannot know everything. Unfortunately, this trend has produced an overabundance of specialists and a shortage of primary healthcare physicians (General Practitioners). As the medical field grew, there arose a need for more support staff in hospitals, doctor's offices, and related areas. Whole careers sprang up in the healthcare profession from Medical Billers to Patient Advocates. This course will discuss some of these areas of specialization within the field as an educational guide for Healthcare Career Planning. Click Here to Enroll Now!

Course Description: 1.0 Continuing Education Units are available at course completion. Have you ever wondered why the American Healthcare system is like it is? We evolved in a unique way based on many factors. This course will show you how and why. When the first ships landed on this continent and colonization of America began, health services consisted only of what was brought along. This included medicine and supplies, physicians or those familiar with medicine, and ideas brought from the mother country. Resources found in America, including plants and American Indian medicine were combined with the resources brought by ship, to form our health care system. From these humble beginnings our health care system has developed into one of the largest and most advanced in the world. This period of about 400 years, begins in 1607 when the first English settlement was established in Jamestown, Virginia. Both healthcare professions and adults not working in healthcare will be interested in how their healthcare system formed and developed as unique and different from the European system. Understanding the history of our healthcare system is necessary in order to change the system and make it more equitable for all Americans. All materials are included in this course. No additional books or supplies are needed. Click Here to Enroll Now!
