Health Career Descriptions

Allied Health Careers

Athletic Trainer Certified Athletic Trainers are highly qualified health professionals who are trained in preventing, recognizing, managing, and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity. Athletic trainers can help you avoid unnecessary medical treatment and disruption of normal daily life; if you're injured, they are trained to work with your healthcare provider to get you on the mend and keep you on the move.

Cardiovascular Technologist/ Technician Cardiovascular technologists and technicians assist physicians in diagnosing and treating cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular (blood vessel) ailments. Cardiovascular technologists may specialize in three areas of practice: Invasive cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular technology. Cardiovascular technicians, who specialize in electrocardiograms (EKGs), stress testing, and Holter monitors are known as cardiographic or EKG technicians.

Clinical Laboratory Technologist/ Technician Clinical Laboratory Science professionals (also sometimes called Medical Laboratorians) are highly skilled scientists who discover the presence or absence of disease and provide data that helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient. Although they are not often personally involved with patients, lab technologists and technicians play a crucial role in the process of providing personalized care. They generate vitally important data for identifying and treating cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other health conditions.

Cytotechnologist Cytotechnologists are laboratory professionals who study cells and cellular anomalies. Using a microscope, they examine slides of human cells for any indication that a cell is abnormal and/or diseased (i.e., cancerous or precancerous lesions, infectious agents, or inflammatory processes). Cytotechnologists often play a crucial role in helping patients to recover from illness, by identifying a disease while it is still at a treatable stage.

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Diagnostic medical sonographers work in a field (diagnostic imaging) that embraces several procedures that aid in diagnosing ailments, the most familiar being the X-ray. Another increasingly common diagnostic imaging method, called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), uses giant magnets and radio waves rather than radiation to create an image. Not all imaging technologies use ionizing radiation or radio waves. However. sonography, or ultrasound, is the use of sound waves to generate an image used for assessment and diagnosis of various medical conditions. Many people associate sonography with obstetrics and the viewing of the fetus in the womb. But this technology has many other applications in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions in the abdomen, breast, heart and vessels (vascular).

Dietitian/ Nutritionist Registered Dietitians (RDs) work in the treatment and prevention of disease (often part of medical teams), in hospitals, private practice offices, or other health-care facilities. They promote healthy eating habits and advise on diet modifications, such as less salt for those with high blood pressure or reduced fat and caloric intake for those who are overweight. Many RDs work in community and public health settings, academia, and research. A growing number work in the food and nutrition industry. RDs also may work in non-traditional settings, such as in business, journalism, sports nutrition, or corporate wellness programs.

Emergency Medical Technician/ Paramedic People's lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, EMTs with additional advanced training to perform more difficult pre-hospital medical procedures. Incidents as varied as automobile accidents, heart attacks, drownings, childbirth, and gunshot wounds all require immediate medical attention. EMTs and paramedics provide this vital attention as they care for and transport the sick or injured to a medical facility.

General Aide Nursing aides, also known as nursing assistants, geriatric aides, unlicensed assistive personnel, or hospital attendants, perform routine tasks under the supervision of nursing and medical staff. They answer patients' call bells, deliver messages, serve meals, make beds, and help patients eat, dress, and bathe. Aides also may provide skin care to patients; take temperatures, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure; and help patients get in and out of bed and walk. They also may escort patients to operating and examining rooms, keep patients' rooms neat, set up equipment, store and move supplies, or assist with some procedures. Aides observe patients' physical, mental, and emotional conditions and report any change to the nursing or medical staff.

Health Information Manager Every time health care personnel treat a patient, they record what they observed and how the patient was treated medically. This record includes information the patient provides concerning his or her symptoms and medical history, as well as the results of examinations, reports of X-rays and laboratory tests, diagnoses, and treatment plans. Health Information Management professionals organize and evaluate these records for completeness and accuracy. 1

Home Care Assistant/ Aide Home care aides help care for physically or mentally ill, injured, disabled, or infirm individuals who are confined to their homes or living in residential care facilities.

Medical Assistant Medical assistants perform routine administrative and clinical tasks to keep the offices and clinics of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and optometrists running smoothly.

Nuclear Medicine Technologist In nuclear medicine, radionuclides—unstable atoms that emit radiation spontaneously—are used to diagnose and treat disease. Radionuclides are purified and compounded like other drugs to form radiopharmaceuticals. Nuclear medicine technologists administer these radiopharmaceuticals to patients, and then monitor the characteristics and functions of tissues or organs in which they localize. Abnormal areas show higher or lower concentrations of radioactivity than normal.

Ophthalmic Laboratory Technician Ophthalmic laboratory technicians—also known as manufacturing opticians, optical mechanics, or optical goods workers—make prescription eyeglass or contact lenses. Prescription lenses are curved in such a way that light is correctly focused onto the retina of the patient's eye, improving vision. Some ophthalmic laboratory technicians manufacture lenses for other optical instruments, such as telescopes and binoculars. Ophthalmic laboratory technicians cut, grind, edge, and finish lenses according to specifications provided by dispensing opticians, optometrists, or ophthalmologists. They also may insert lenses into frames to produce finished glasses. Although some lenses still are produced by hand, technicians increasingly use automated equipment to make lenses.

Optician (Dispensing) Dispensing opticians fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists. Dispensing opticians examine written prescriptions to determine lens specifications. They recommend eyeglass frames, lenses, and lens coatings after considering the prescription and the customer's occupation, habits, and facial features. Dispensing opticians measure clients' eyes, including the distance between the centers of the pupils and the distance between the eye surface and the lens. For customers without prescriptions, dispensing opticians may use a lensometer to record the present eyeglass prescription. They also may obtain a customer's previous record, or verify a prescription with the examining optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Pathologists’ Assistant A Pathologists’ Assistant is an intensively trained allied health professional who provides anatomic pathology services under the direction and supervision of a pathologist. A Pathologists’ Assistant is qualified to do all the work leading up to (but not including) diagnosis - including tissue banking, gross examination of surgical pathology specimens, and complex surgical resections and autopsies.

Physician Assistant Physician assistants (PAs) provide healthcare services under the supervision of physicians. They should not be confused with medical assistants, who perform routine clinical and clerical tasks. PAs are formally trained to provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive healthcare services, as delegated by a physician. Working as members of the healthcare team, they take medical histories, examine and treat patients, order and interpret laboratory tests and X-rays, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. They also treat minor injuries by suturing, splinting, and casting. PAs record progress notes, instruct and counsel patients, and order or carry out therapy.

Radiologic Technologist/ Technician Radiologic technologists are the health care professionals who perform diagnostic imaging procedures, such as X-ray examinations, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, and Computed Tomography (CT) scans. According to the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, there are 257,000 registered radiologic technologists in the United States.

Respiratory Therapist Advanced-Level Respiratory Therapists and Entry-Level Respiratory Therapists (also called Respiratory Care Practitioners) evaluate, treat and care for patients with breathing or other cardiopulmonary disorders. Practicing under physician direction, Advanced-Level Respiratory Therapists assume primary responsibility for all respiratory care therapeutic treatments and diagnostic procedures, including the supervision of Entry-Level Respiratory Therapists. Entry-Level Respiratory Therapists follow specific, well-defined respiratory care procedures, under the direction of physicians and Advanced-Level Respiratory Therapists.

2

Surgical Technologist Surgical technologists assist in surgical operations under the supervision of surgeons, registered nurses, or other surgical personnel. They are members of operating room teams, which most commonly include surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating nurses. Surgical technologists work under the delegatory authority of the surgeon, unless prohibited by state law or hospital policy. Before an operation, they help prepare the operating room by setting up surgical instruments and equipment, sterile drapes, and sterile solutions. Surgical technologists assemble the sterile and non- sterile equipment, check to ensure it all is working properly, and make adjustments as necessary. They also help prepare patients for surgery by washing, shaving, and disinfecting incision sites. Technologists transport patients to the operating room, help position them on the operating table, and cover them with sterile surgical "drapes." They also observe patients' vital signs, check charts, and assist the surgical team with putting on sterile gowns and gloves.

Arts and Humanities in Health

Medical Historian The history of medicine is a small and specialized branch of history that focuses upon the health professions. Historians of medicine most commonly teach in universities, either in the history department or the medical school. They can teach courses in their specialty or in other areas of history; they also may teach within the health fields, depending upon their training and expertise. Medical Historians also work in museums with historical medical collections (e.g., the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History), or in libraries and archives that specialize in medical history (e.g., the National Library of Medicine). They develop public exhibits, organize and provide access to historical collections, and carry out research leading to scholarly publications in the field. Virtually all medical history positions involve some degree of library research.

Medical Illustrator A Medical Illustrator is a professional artist with extensive training in medicine and science, who creates visual material to help record and disseminate medical, biological and related information. Medical Illustration is a relatively exclusive field: although the need for their services is great, there still is just a small cadre of these highly skilled artists in practice. The Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) estimates a total of just 1,200 Medical Illustrators in all of North America.

Medical Librarian Medical librarians are an integral part of the healthcare team. They have a direct impact on the quality of patient care, by helping physicians, allied health professionals, and researchers to stay abreast of new developments in their specialty areas. They also work closely with patients and consumers who are seeking authoritative health information.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Chiropractor Chiropractic medicine is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. It focuses on the relationship between the body's structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. When appropriate, Doctors of Chiropractic work in cooperation with the patient's other health care practitioners. Chiropractic doctors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems. Chiropractors believe that interference with these systems can impair normal functioning, cause pain, and lower resistance to disease. They are most well known for the hands-on technique they practice to adjust imbalances in the patient's skeletal system, particularly the spine.

Naturopathic Doctor A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) practices a form of medicine that blends centuries-old, natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in the study of health and human systems. Naturopathic medicine covers all aspects of family health from prenatal to geriatric care, with a special focus on whole-patient wellness.

Dental Assistant Dental Assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laboratory duties. They often schedule and confirm appointments, receive patients, keep treatment records, send bills, receive payments, obtain dental records, and order dental supplies and materials. They also sterilize instruments and equipment, prepare tray setups for dental procedures, and instruct patients on postoperative and general oral health care.

Dental Hygienist Dental hygienists are licensed health care professionals who promote oral health and wellness. Dental hygienists educate patients regarding oral hygiene and preventive oral care, remove soft and hard deposits from teeth, and provide other preventive dental care. Hygienists examine patients' oral cavity -- including the head, neck, lips, cheeks, tongue, teeth and gums -- recording the presence of diseases or abnormalities. After assessing a patient's conditions, they develop a dental hygiene diagnosis.

Dental Laboratory Technician Dental laboratory technicians fill prescriptions from dentists for crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental prosthetics. First, dentists send a specification of the item to be fabricated, along with an impression (mold) of the patient's mouth or teeth. Then, dental laboratory technicians, also called dental technicians, create a model of the patient's mouth by pouring plaster into the impression and allowing it to set. Next, they place the model on an apparatus that mimics the bite and movement of the patient's jaw. The model serves as the basis of the prosthetic device. Technicians examine the model, noting the size and shape of the adjacent teeth, as well as gaps within the gum line. Based upon these observations and the dentist's specifications, technicians build and shape a wax tooth or teeth model, using small hand instruments called wax spatulas and wax carvers. They use this wax model to cast the metal framework for the prosthetic device. The American Dental Association (ADA) has a useful online brochure about becoming a dental lab tech.

Dentist Dentists who practice clinical dentistry: ƒ Evaluate the overall health of their patients by taking blood pressure and vital signs, and by evaluating comprehensive medical histories. ƒ Use the latest techniques and equipment to examine the head and neck and oral cavity to identify and diagnose oral conditions that may manifest into systemic disease and determine the oral health of the patient. ƒ Use the latest radiographic, computer-generated imaging, and other specialized diagnostic techniques to identify diseases of the teeth, supporting bone and gingival tissues, and other tissues in the oral cavity and head and neck. ƒ Provide instruction and advice on oral health care, including individualized diet analysis, brushing and flossing techniques, the use of fluoridated products and other specialized preventive measures to maintain healthy oral tissues and prevent oral disease. ƒ Restore and replace teeth damaged by decay, lost from trauma or disease, with newly developed dental materials, implants, and crown and bridge techniques. ƒ Extract teeth when necessary using the most up-to-date anesthetic techniques. ƒ Eliminate pain arising from oral diseases, conditions and trauma, making use of prescriptive medicines to reduce pain and discomfort. ƒ Correct mal-positioned teeth to improve chewing, speech, digestion of food and appearance. ƒ Oversee the administration and business of private practice sand frequently employ and supervise a large number of staff and allied dental personnel to help treat their family of patients. ƒ Have been trained to treat all patients, adults and children, in many different treatment facilities and settings.

Health Administration/ Management

Health Administrator Health administrators/managers are leaders. They head up hospitals, physician group practices, nursing homes, and home health agencies. They also work in the private sector, for pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, or companies that make medical supplies and equipment. Many graduates help to shape healthcare policy by pursuing careers with local, state, or federal agencies or health-related national associations, such as the Red Cross or the American Hospital Association.

Informatics

Bioinformatics Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. The ultimate goal of the field is to enable the discovery of new biological insights, as well as to create a global perspective from which unifying principles in biology can be discerned.

Medicine

Osteopathic Physician Osteopathic physicians (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine or D.O.) diagnose illness and injury, prescribe and administer treatment, and advise patients about how to prevent and manage disease. Like M.D.s, they are licensed to diagnose, treat, prescribe, and perform surgery in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to using all of the tools and technology available to modern medicine, D.O.s have a strongly holistic philosophy and practice osteopathic manipulative medicine - a distinctive system of hands-on diagnosis and treatment which focuses specifically on the musculoskeletal system.

4

Physician (M.D.) Physicians examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients about illness, injuries, health conditions, and preventive healthcare (diet/fitness, smoking cessation, etc.). Physicians work in one or more specialties, including, among others: ƒ anesthesiology ƒ family and general medicine ƒ general internal medicine ƒ general pediatrics ƒ obstetrics and gynecology ƒ psychiatry ƒ surgery

Physician Scientist Physician scientists are allopathic or osteopathic physicians or dentists who pursue their research interests in the laboratory. Various training pathways and career opportunities exist for physician scientists: they can teach, treat patients, conduct basic science, and perform translational or clinical research. Physician scientists hold positions at academic research centers, pursue clinical careers in private or group practice, or do research for public or private institutions.

Podiatrist Podiatric medicine is a branch of the medical sciences devoted to the study of human movement, with the medical care of the foot and ankle as its primary focus. A doctor of podiatric medicine is to the foot what a dentist is to the mouth or an ophthalmologist to the eye - a specialist who has undergone lengthy, thorough study to become uniquely well-qualified to treat a specific part of the body. A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot disorders, diseases and injuries. A DPM makes independent judgments and performs or orders all necessary diagnostic tests. They perform surgery; administer medications, including DEA-restricted medications; and prescribe physical therapy regimens. DPMs often detect serious health problems that may otherwise go unnoticed, because a number of diseases manifest first through symptoms of the lower extremities (i.e., diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, or kidney disease). Podiatric physicians are educated in state-of-the-art techniques involving surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Mental Health

Psychiatrist Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses. The stereotype of the "bearded analyst" sitting by the couch is obsolete. While psychoanalysis is still practiced, most psychiatrists today provide a wide range of biological, psychotherapeutic, and psychosocial treatments tailored to the specific needs of the patient. The psychiatrist also serves as the medical expert for the mind/brain/body interface. Psychiatry is one of the oldest medical specialties. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is over 150 years old. Psychiatry is also one of the frontiers of medicine, as psychiatrists conduct research into the nature and causes of mental illnesses, and how mental illnesses relate to other health problems.

Nursing

Clinical Nurse Specialist Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) are Advanced Practice nurses who hold a master’s or doctoral degree in a specialized area of nursing practice. Their area of clinical expertise may be in: ƒ a population (e.g. pediatrics, geriatrics, women’s health); ƒ a setting (e.g. critical care, emergency room); ƒ a disease or medical subspecialty (e.g. diabetes, oncology); ƒ a type of care (e.g. psychiatric, rehabilitation); or ƒ a type of health problem (e.g. pain, wounds, stress).

Nurse Anesthetist Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are Advanced Practice nurses who safely provide anesthesia care to more than 22 million surgical, obstetrical and trauma patients each year in the United States. They administer every type of anesthetic, work in every type of practice setting, and provide care for every type of operation or procedure – from open heart surgery to pain management programs.

Nurse Midwife Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are Advanced Practice Nurses who provide counseling and care during preconception, pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period. CNMs and their colleagues Certified Midwives (CMs) also provide family-centered primary healthcare to women throughout their reproductive lives.

5

Nurse Practitioner Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are Advanced Practice nurses who provide care to patients throughout the lifespan, from premature newborns to the elderly. They perform comprehensive and focused physical examinations; diagnose and treat common acute illnesses and injuries; provide immunizations; manage high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and other chronic health problems; order and interpret diagnostic tests such as X-Rays and EKGs, as well as laboratory tests; prescribe medications and therapies, perform procedures, and educate and counsel patients and their families regarding healthy lifestyles and health care options. NPs can prescribe medications, including controlled substances, in all 50 states. In 25 states, NPs have authority to practice independently.

Registered Nurse (RN) Registered Nursing (RN) requires a large base of knowledge used to assess, plan, and intervene to promote health, prevent disease, and help patients cope with illness. They are health educators and advocates for patients, families, and communities. When providing direct patient care, nurses observe, assess, and record symptoms, reactions, and progress, which provides the basis for care planning and intervention. They collaborate with all members of the healthcare team to provide the care needed by each patient as an individual.

Vocational/ Licensed Practical Nurse Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) as they are called in Texas and California, care for the sick, injured, convalescent, and disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. LPNs/LVNs work under the supervision of RNs or physicians. They provide hands-on care to patients in a variety of settings. The LPN program involves one year of training at a hospital, vocational-tech school, or community college. After training, you are eligible for licensure as an LPN or LVN, and you will then be qualified to work at a hospital. Responsibilities of LPNs are limited, however, and you must work under the guidance and direction of a registered nurse or doctor.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapist Occupational therapists (OTs) assist clients in performing activities of all types, ranging from using a computer to caring for daily needs such as dressing, cooking, eating, and driving. Services typically include: customized treatment programs to improve one's ability to perform daily activities; comprehensive home and job site evaluations with adaptation recommendations; adaptive equipment recommendations and usage training; and guidance to family members and caregivers.

Occupational Therapy Aide Occupational therapy aides typically prepare materials and assemble equipment used during treatment and are responsible for a range of clerical tasks. Duties can include scheduling appointments, answering the telephone, restocking or ordering depleted supplies, and filling out insurance forms or other paperwork. Aides are not licensed, so by law they are not allowed to perform as wide a range of tasks as occupational therapist assistants.

Occupational Therapy Assistant Occupational therapy assistants help clients with rehabilitative activities and exercises outlined in a treatment plan developed in collaboration with an occupational therapist. Activities range from teaching the proper method of moving from a bed into a wheelchair, to the best way to stretch and limber the muscles of the hand. Assistants monitor an individual's activities to make sure they are performed correctly and to provide encouragement. They also record their client's progress for use by the occupational therapist. If the treatment is not having the intended effect, or the client is not improving as expected, the therapist may alter the treatment program in hopes of obtaining better results. In addition, occupational therapy assistants document billing of the client's health insurance provider.

Optometry

Optometrist Doctors of Optometry (ODs) are the primary health care professionals for the eye. Optometrists examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases, injuries, and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures. They also identify related systemic conditions affecting the eye. ODs diagnose and treat, prescribe medications, perform certain surgical procedures, provide vision therapy and low vision rehabilitation, and assist patients with spectacle and contact lenses. They counsel patients regarding surgical and non-surgical options to meet their visual needs, and in cases involving surgery they provide both pre-operative and post- operative consultation and care. ODs also diagnose systemic conditions that have eye-related symptoms (i.e., diabetes or high blood pressure) and refer patients to other health practitioners, as needed. Optometrists should not be confused with ophthalmologists or dispensing opticians. Ophthalmologists are physicians who perform eye surgery, in addition to diagnosing and treating eye conditions. Dispensing opticians fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists.

6

Pharmacy

Pharmacist Pharmacists dispense drugs prescribed by physicians and other health practitioners and monitor patient health. They advise physicians and other health practitioners on the selection, dosages, interactions, and side effects of medications. Pharmacists must understand the use; clinical effects; and composition of drugs, including their chemical, biological, and physical properties. They protect the public by ensuring drug purity and strength. The goal of pharmacy care is to maximize positive health care outcomes and improve patients' quality of life with minimum risk. Most pharmacists work in a community setting, such as a retail drug store, or in a hospital or clinic.

Pharmacy Aide Pharmacy aides help licensed pharmacists with administrative duties in running a pharmacy. Aides often are clerks or cashiers who primarily answer telephones, handle money, stock shelves, and perform other clerical duties. They work closely with pharmacy technicians. Pharmacy technicians usually perform more complex tasks than do assistants, although, in some states, their duties and job titles overlap.

Pharmacy Technician Pharmacy technicians work under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist and perform many pharmacy-related functions. They refer any questions regarding prescriptions, drug information, or health matters to a pharmacist. Pharmacy techs work in a wide variety of practice settings, including community pharmacies, hospitals, the military, in- home health care settings, long term care facilities, mail service pharmacies, managed health care organizations, and educational programs.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapist Physical Therapists (PTs) provide services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients with injuries or disease. PTs work closely with patients to restore, maintain, and promote their overall fitness and health. Patients may include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low back pain, fractures, head injuries, arthritis, heart disease, and cerebral palsy. PTs examine patients' medical histories, then test and measure their strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, posture, muscle performance, respiration, and motor function. They also determine the patient's ability to be independent and reintegrate into the community or workplace after injury or illness. Finally, they develop treatment plans describing a treatment strategy, its purpose, and the anticipated outcome.

Physical Therapist Assistant Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) perform components of physical therapy procedures and related tasks, as directed by a supervising physical therapist (PT). PTAs help patients who have movement difficulties due to injury or disease, by assisting the PT with therapies designed to improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disability. Patients may include accident victims and individuals with short- and long- term disabling conditions, such as low back pain, fractures, head injuries, arthritis, heart disease, and cerebral palsy.

Public Health

Behavioral Science/ Health Education With a career in Behavioral Science/Health Education you help to improve public health by encouraging people to make healthy choices. For instance, you may develop community-wide education initiatives on health topics ranging from nutrition and fitness to injury and disease prevention. If you pursue a career in this field, you may help to: ƒ stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, such as herpes and HIV/AIDS ƒ help young people recognize and avoid the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse ƒ reduce obesity and related health problems among children ƒ improve the quality of life for the growing population of seniors ƒ save more lives by promoting seatbelt use Public health professionals in this field also research complex health issues, in order to help people make better use of health services, adopt self-care practices, and become more active participants in their community's health system.

Biomedical and Laboratory Practice Public health professionals who specialize in biomedical and laboratory practice use lab techniques to diagnose and treat disease and to study the conditions that affect health status. This field encompasses a diverse array of specialists, including bacteriologists, microbiologists, and biochemists, among others.

7

Biostatistics Biostatistics is the science that applies statistical theory and mathematical principals to research in medicine, biology, environmental science, public health and related fields. Public health biostaticians use mathematical and scientific methods to determine the cause of disease and injuries, and to identify health trends within communities. For instance, if you go into this career your research may include estimating the number of deaths from gun violence or determining trends in drunk driving injuries. It may also include (among other tasks): ƒ analyzing the effectiveness of new drugs ƒ analyzing risk factors for different illnesses ƒ planning health care interventions ƒ explaining biological phenomena If you like collecting and studying information, forecasting scenarios, and drawing conclusions, this may be the perfect health career for you.

Environmental Health Sciences Complex interactions between human genetics and our physical surroundings can give rise to a variety of diseases and health conditions -- including asthma, cancer, and even food poisoning. Environmental health professionals improve public health by focusing all their efforts on identifying and addressing these environmental risk factors. This is a wide- ranging, complex, and multifaceted profession, spanning chemistry, toxicology and engineering, among other disciplines. It also involves collaboration with and reliance upon other professionals -- such as chemists, geologists, biologists, meteorologists, physicists, physicians and engineers.

Epidemiology When food poisoning or an influenza outbreak attacks a community, the "disease detectives" or epidemiologists are asked to investigate the cause of disease and control its spread. Epidemiologists do fieldwork to determine what causes disease or injury, what the risks are, who is at risk, and how to prevent further incidences. They understand the demographic and social trends upon disease and injury. The initial discovery and containment of an outbreak, such as avian flu or mad cow disease, often comes from epidemiologists. Epidemiology is the study and control of disease or injury patterns in human populations. Professionals in this field use statistical analysis, but their approach and methods are distinctly different than what biostaticians use. Epidemiologists must take into account various hereditary, behavioral, environmental, and health care factors; they also must make extensive use of the contributions of biological, clinical, and other sciences including techniques derived in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Health Services Administration Managing the database at a school clinic, developing budgets for a health department, creating polices for health insurance companies, directing hospital services... these are just some of the careers you might pursue with a public health degree in health services administration. The field of health services administration combines politics, business, and science in managing the human and fiscal resources needed to deliver effective public health services. If you go into this profession, you might work in administration or resource development, in the public or private sectors. You might specialize in planning, organization, policy formation and analysis, finance, economics, or marketing.

International/ Global Health International/global health is an area of public health that addresses the health of people living in low- and middle-income countries (sometimes known as developing countries). Health concerns in these countries include not only infectious and tropical diseases (such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases and malaria), but also chronic and non-infectious diseases, as well as age-related illnesses and conditions. Global health also addresses mental illness and the health consequences of trauma, violence, war, and displacement. Global health professionals place a high priority on maternal and child health. This is because so much of the avoidable morbidity/mortality in the developing world is attributable to a lack of access to good prenatal and obstetric care, and/or to preventable or treatable childhood illnesses, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Another key focus in global health is the organization, financing and management of health service systems. Global health experts work to help developing countries to establish and implement an effective and efficient health care infrastructure.

Maternal and Child Health Providing information and access to birth control; promoting the health of a pregnant woman and an unborn child; and dispensing vaccinations to children are part of maternal and child health. Professionals in maternal and child health focus on the complex public health problems affecting women, children, and their families. Maternal and child health experts work to improve the health delivery system specifically for women, children, and families through advocacy, education, and research. They accomplish this by discovering and testing solutions through applied research and by developing, implementing, and/or evaluating health programs at the local, state, national, and international levels.

Nutrition Proper diet is the foundation of good health, from conception through old age. While the study of nutrition is a key element of every public health program, some MPH students opt to focus in this area for their public health career. Public health is a highly collaborative field, but especially in this area. Public health nutritionists must learn to function productively and creatively on their own and in conjunction with a wide variety of other professionals in the health and science fields.

Occupational Health and Safety Occupational health and safety experts are concerned with the identification, prevention, and control of health and safety hazards related to work and the work environment, as well as their prevention and control. They promote health and safety within organizations by developing safer, healthier, and more efficient ways of working. If you pursue a career in this field, you might design programs to control, eliminate, or prevent health problems caused by chemical, physical, or biological agents. You might advise organizations about using more ergonomically-designed equipment or furniture. You might conduct occupational safety inspections or evaluate how well employers adhere to laws, regulations, or policies designed to protect their workers' health and safety.

Public Health Practice and Program Management This particular public health field is designed to prepare experienced clinicians (i.e., in medicine, dentistry, nursing, social work, etc.) to assume leadership roles as members of multidisciplinary health care teams. A degree in public health practice & program management incorporates features of a number of other public health disciplines, including maternal and child health, aging, mental health, and environmental health, among others. With a degree in this area, you will be prepared to develop, implement, and evaluate effective public health initiatives. You also will be able to create and analyze programs in the context of the communities they serve, taking into account cultural, social, economic, ethical, and legal factors.

Speech-Language-Hearing

Audiologist Audiologists measure hearing ability, identify hearing disorders, provide rehabilitative services, assess amplification devices and instruct patients in their care, provide training in speech reading, and serve as consultants to government and industry on issues concerning environmental, noise-induced hearing loss. A Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) is an independent professional who specializes in diagnosing, managing, and treating hearing- and balance-related disorders. Audiologists treat patients from birth through adulthood. In providing hearing care, audiologists: ƒ Diagnose and treat hearing problems, including balance function and disorders. ƒ Treat most hearing impairments through modern ear ware, including programmable and digital hearing aids. ƒ Develop and implement prevention, screening and early detection programs. ƒ Recommend hearing protection in industrial, military, travel, music, and other settings. ƒ Provide training in lip reading and understanding sounds. Audiology is closely connected to the field of speech-language pathology (SLP). Some audiologists also become certified speech-language pathologists, but each profession is a distinct career in its own right.

Speech Language Pathologist Speech-language pathologists assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent speech, language, cognitive, communication, voice, swallowing, fluency, and other related disorders; this profession is closely allied with - but separate from - audiology. Some speech-language pathologists become certified audiologists (and vice- versa), but each career is a distinct profession in itself. Speech-language pathologists work with people who cannot make speech sounds, or cannot make them clearly; those with speech rhythm and fluency problems, such as stuttering; people with voice quality problems, such as inappropriate pitch or harsh voice; those with problems understanding and producing language; those who wish to improve their communication skills by modifying an accent; and those with cognitive communication impairments, such as attention, memory, and problem solving disorders. They also work with people who have oral motor problems causing eating and swallowing difficulties.

Veterinary Medicine

Veterinarian Veterinarians play a major role in the healthcare of pets, livestock, and zoo, sporting, and laboratory animals. Some veterinarians use their skills to protect humans against diseases carried by animals and conduct clinical research on human and animal health problems. Others work in basic research, broadening the scope of fundamental theoretical knowledge, and in applied research, developing new ways to use knowledge.

Veterinary Technologist/ Technician Owners of pets and other animals today expect state-of-the-art veterinary care. To provide this service, veterinarians use the skills of veterinary technologists and technicians, who perform many of the same duties for a veterinarian that a nurse would for a physician, including routine laboratory and clinical procedures. Although specific job duties vary by employer, there often is little difference between the tasks done by technicians and by technologists, despite some differences in formal education and training. As a result, most workers in this occupation are called technicians.
