Careers in Medicine

Many Careers in Medicine to Choose From
The field of careers in medicine is very broad. This description covers everything from hospital administrator to medical records technician. Included in that spectrum are fascinating and fulfilling careers such as doctors, nurses, lab technicians, physical therapists, and radiologists.

What Education is required for a Career in Medicine?
Since the variety of careers in medicine is so varied, the education required for each medical specialty is equally varied. Some careers in medicine can be pursued with little or formal education. Hospital line cooks, custodians, security personnel are examples of these positions. Many more careers in medicine require certificate courses or associates degrees. Some lab technician positions, radiology, and some nursing jobs would fit into this category. Most physical therapist jobs, nursing positions, nutritionist careers, and hospital administrators require a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Some head nursing positions, many hospital administrators, doctors and research specialists require the minimum of a Master's degree, Professional Degree or a doctorate degree. This means that your education could take 3 months or more than 7 years depending on your choice of medical career.
