You Can Be ABC's: explore health careers

We're back for one last alphabet worth of careers before summer whisks you away from thoughts of occupational exploration. This month's ABC's are all about health care, and while you may have heard of some of these careers, we guarantee that you haven't heard of them all (10 extra credit points to anyone who already knows what a dosimitrist does)!


All the career links will direct you to info on ExploreHealthCareers.org — a great resource for anyone thinking about going into the health career field. Not only do they offer a ton of helpful information about health occupations, but also provide resources on planning out your education and paying for college (including a scholarship search). So if you're interested in health care, their website is a great place to start.
