LESSON

HEALTH CAREER ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Are you interested to know what causes illnesses? Would you like to help people get and stay healthy in any aspect of
health?
Medical research, scientific research, and technical breakthroughs have made the health science industry one of the
most exciting and personally rewarding fields to explore. And the most popular jobs in this cluster include those of
doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, radiology technicians, and physical and occupational therapists.
A health career orientation is an activity-based career exploration to broaden your knowledge about careers in the health
field. Health career orientation helps you to:

• evaluate and assess such factors as personal needs, interests, and skills
• provide an opportunity to identify and explore health careers
• learn about the duties and responsibilities of health professionals
• acquire an awareness of a wide variety of educational training and resources for both academic and vocational fields

• pursue health career pathways for future education/ training

SUMMARY
A career in health will give you the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. A wide range of healthcare career
pathways will provide you with what area you want to focus on, flexibility, and a variety of ideas and opportunities to
pursue your personal development.
You need to identify interests and skills, expose yourself to the different available careers, and decide on a career that
works for you and your plan of action.

The medical profession comprises a group of qualified and dedicated individuals whose vision is to ensure that every
person is healthy, free from any form of illness or disease. They may be physicians with their own specialized field, or
allied health professionals who compliment them, such as nurses, physical therapists, medical technologists, among
others. To start a career in health, you must go through several years of formal education, an extensive clinical training,
and finally, certification to be officially recognized and duly licensed to practice as a health professional.
Health career orientation will help you identify and explore health careers and acquire awareness of a wide variety of
educational training and resources for both academic and vocational that motivate you to pursue a career in health.
