Those following the career market list healthcare as the number one cutting edge career in the years to come. As the human population ages, there is a growing healthcare demand. The job market is strong, particularly in certain areas and new growth is promised.
The US healthcare system is already overtaxed and is going to get tighter. As baby-boomers age, the need for more nurses and caregivers is going to increase. If there is a national healthcare plan that provides medical care to the millions of uninsured individuals, this will provide a greater influx of patients needing to receive healthcare. The hottest healthcare jobs include health informatics specialists that will develop expert systems to help doctors and other healthcare providers make evidence-based diagnoses and treatments.
Hospitals, insurers and patient families will desire to hire patient advocates to navigate the confusing pathways that healthcare brings to a family. Such advocates may help reduce confusion and lawsuits between patients and providers. There will be a need to hire more healthcare coders that will help with reimbursement from Medicare and insurance companies.
There will be an increase in illness prevention. People will move past personal trainers and hire wellness coaches to help not only with exercise and good eating but with smoking cessation, the drinking of alcohol and with stress reduction. Wellness coaches may become an option for the middle class and not only for the elite.
