Industry Tip: Check out Alternative Health Care Jobs Guide Provided by Vault through Feb. 2018
In my role as the Industry Advisor for Health and Science, I receive many questions about what jobs are available in health care outside of the typical careers most people think of including a nurse or a doctor.
Outside of the information I provide in one-on-one appointments which often includes mention of health education, policy, research, administration and management, and others, Vault provides a great resource called Alternative Health Care Jobs that can answer this question.
You may also want to consider viewing the Health Care Management Jobs guide. You can access this resource through Feb. 28, 2018 by visiting https://sls.gmu.edu/libraryblog/2013/04/12/gmu-libraries-provide-access-to-vault-career-insider/ and selecting Career Insider by Vault.
