Healthcare encompasses a wealth of career opportunities and is quite a portable profession. There are many exciting clinical careers aside from Doctors and Nurses. If blood and guts are not for you, you can still enjoy a blood-free clinical career in healthcare. Or, even engage the business side of your brain with a career in healthcare administration.
