Are you interested in possibly a health career?
Using salary, job outlook and educational information from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC), the Missouri Hospital Association has developed an interactive career website at www.missourihealthcareers.com to encourage young people to consider careers in health care.
The site features blogs and videos, and a youth-minded career quiz called “Diagnose Your Future” that can help gear students toward careers fitting their personality and goals.
The website describes nearly 100 health-related jobs, offering at-a-glance info-graphics that succinctly show salary, job outlook, education required, level of patient interaction and the “Blood-O-Meter” that shows how much blood might be part of a particular job.
