Healthcare providers are always seeking compassionate, empathetic people to give proper care to their patients. There are many health professions to choose from, so identifying which area best fits your personality and interests requires a lot of thought and planning. You can get hands-on in nursing or becoming a doctor, rehabilitate others through physical therapy or as a chiropractor, study disease through public health, focus on specialized areas like dental or optometry or care for animals as a veterinarian. Healthcare professions require various levels of education and clinical experience.
