 | In an uncertain economic climate, job security is a valuable commodity. But many careers that previously seemed recession-proof have been downsized, outsourced or shipped off to foreign countries. The trick is to find an industry in which the demand for services will be continual. One such area is healthcare. No matter which way the economic indicators are pointing, people will continue to need medical care. And as the Baby Boomers get older, they’ll need more and more health services, whether they seek care in hospitals, assisted living facilities, or at home. The demand for qualified healthcare professionals will stay strong. Careers in the healthcare field have become very lucrative in the last decade due to the number of benefits they provide. As a result of the growing shortage of healthcare professionals, more and more jobs are becoming available for individuals looking for a career in the healthcare field, and because of this, individuals in the field have the ability to choose when and where they want to work. Another advantage of a career in the healthcare field, and part of what is driving more individuals to consider it, is the excellent pay and benefits offered by most positions. Everyday there are new developments in science that are leading to the introduction of life-changing medicines and treatments for all kinds of illnesses and diseases. There has never been a better time to embark on a career in an industry that is fast moving where you are directly involved in making a real difference to the health and life of others Associate Professor Dr. Tey Kim Kuan(Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy & Allied Health Sciences) |
