Healthcare Career Guide
Biochemist
Overview
A biochemist is someone who studies chemical processes or the change in chemicals when they are a living organism. Important traits for a biochemist include verbal communication and writing skills to construct research papers, problem solving and critical thinking skills to create and execute experiments and to understand and interpret the results. Biochemists are often required to: "Prepare samples and perform analyses using various analytical techniques", "Maintain electronic lab notebooks, interpret results, and communicate findings both orally and in wellwritten technical reports" and "Perform independent research and develop new analytical methods with the support of senior staff".
Education Classes in natural and physical sciences are useful in high school to prepare the student for college major in biochemistry. Knowledge of math and computer science is useful as well because they help in learning how to analyze data. Biochemists typically have a bachelor's degrees either biochemistry or a related field such as biology, chemistry, physics or engineering. Classes in mathematics are also important as biochemists need to analyze a variety of complex data.
Work
in 2014, the median annual salary for a biochemist was $84,940. The majority of biochemists work in professional scientific and technical services industry. The remainder were in manufacturing or education. These jobs are typically found in colleges, universities, hospitals and pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies.
Biochemists who decide to pursue a master's degree usually spend a full year doing so. This involves specializing in a specific area of research. The usual areas are molecular biology, bioinformatics, statistics, and biophysics. A Ph.D, is optional but recommended as if you want a research or development job. Very few jobs accept only a bachelor's degree. A few people are able to get a laboratory job with only a master 's degree. A Ph.D. usually takes 3 to 4 years of training. Lab work can be done throughout college and is usually during school or an internship. This involves creating, designing, and completing a lab to find results that may help.
Reflection According to The Holland Code, this occupation is investigative, artistic, and realistic. Investigative refers to the analytical side of this occupation, requiring deeper thinking and observation. Biochemistry needs someone who is artistic as well because they will be creating experiments and chemicals. Finally biochemistry is realistic, meaning that all the tasks that are required are concrete.

IT'S TIME FOR
SELF REFLECTION I'll admit that I did not know that it's difficult to become a dentist. I was not aware of the special testing and specific schooling that it took to become a dentist. It seems very rigorous to me, more than I thought. It seems like if somebody wants to become a dentist, they have to be all in or else forget about it. It's that fact that deters me away from being a dentist. That, and I'm not a big fan of teeth. They're pretty creepy in my opinion. I think have the patience and dexterity to become a dentist, but I could never apply myself to it.

Some dietitians work out of an office developing diet plans, whereas others may work in the kitchen, overseeing food production. A dietitian should be knowledgeable in the field of nutrition and how it relates to anatomy and physiology. They should be able to determine the Add a little bit of body text nutritional cause of a disorder based on a professional diagnosis and correct the issue.
Entrees
Education & Training......................................9 A bachelors or a masters degree in nutrition or dietetics is recommended for this career. Most nutritionists spend four to five years in school.
Work..................................................................11 Dieticians earn an average of $63,700 per year. Some dieticians run their own practices as dietary consultants for individual clients, while others are employed by companies and schools to ensure proper nutrition throughout their respective groups. Though some dietician work supervising kitchen staff or otherwise on-site, many others work out of a home or personal office.

The enviroment in this field usually around a gym, field, or court, you don't at ,most times have an office.

Forensic Toxicologist By Sean McIntyre

There are a few opportunities within Washington state .

Reflection To excel in a career of toxicology, one needs to have a insert or passion in molecular technology. I feel that I wold be decent in the field of toxicology because I am already pursuing another field in biology (marine biology). The change of careers wouldn't be as dramatic as if, for example, I was pursuing a career in music. However, I have already set my goal to get a master's in marine biology and become a marine biologist since the age of seven. But if that doesn't work out well, I might find myself perusing a career in toxicology, mainly because I would be able to help protect public health and public safety while also being able to work in molecular biology. Also, the fact that your salary increases with your years of experience is tempting.

The Medical Assistant Hannah Cross Overview In a typical day the Medical Assistant performs administrative and certain clinical duties under the direction of a physician. Administrative duties may include scheduling appointments, billing, and coding information for insurance purposes. Just to name a few. Clinical duties may include drawing blood, preparing patients for examinations, etc. In order to perform the job you must have had several years of vocational training and must pass a licensing exam. Working conditions include: welllighted, clean environments, constant interaction with patients and people, and a 40 hour week, if working fulltime. Others just work part time, evenings or weekends. Education & training Education Pathway/Licensing Requirements: Most occupations in this field require training in a vocational school, related onthe job experience, or an associate's degree.

Reflection Anyone who loves to help others and wants to be more focused on patient care would excel in this job. I'd day I'd be a good candidate for this job because I enjoy talking to and helping people, which is what this job requires. You need to be able to talk to patients as well as have a responsible work ethic, which I strive to have. I'm not as interested in this job occupation as I was because the annual salary is lower than what I would like to make in the future. It would be a fun job and I would enjoy it, but I think I could find another job in the medical field that I enjoy just as much and that makes more. I think the best part of this job would be that you mostly get to focus solely on patient care, whereas with surgeons they don't really get to focus on one patient, they have to focus on multiple and it often would turn into just getting the job done and not really caring to get to know the patient.

Health Care
Nurse Practitioner By Sarah Paquette
Overview: Nurse Practitioner's serve as primary and specialty care providers. They are registered nurse's that have additional training. Nurse Practitioner's can prescribe certain medications as well. They diagnose and treat illnesses, infections, and injuries. A typical day consists of guiding others, writing prescriptions, seeing patients, making schedules, and much more.
Education and Training: To become a nurse practitioner, you need to first go to school to be a Registered Nurse. From there, you get your bachelors degree in nursing, then you attend the nurse practitioner's program. Once you graduate from the program and you are certified you are good to go!

You must be responsible, a strong team player, and have great communication skills. Am I a good candidate? Yes, I think so. I have good social and communicative skills. My mom is a nurse, so I feel that I have a good understanding of the mental and physical demands of the job. Am I still interested in this career? YES I am. I want to specialize in Pediatrics (working with kids). I want to work in a large hospital, and not a clinic. I think that learning about this career more in depth has made me want to be a nurse practitioner even more! I think that the best part of this job is the fact that you are helping people. I chose this career because in my experience doctors don't have as much personal interaction with the patients, and I want that.

Psychiatrists help patients with mental illnesses such as substance abuse, anxiety disorders, or depression. Some mental illnesses have a biological cause, such as a lack of the proper chemicals in the brain. Other mental illnesses are caused by an event, such as the death of a loved one. They often employ individual or group therapy to gain insight into a patient's past and find coping methods to help patients address their own problems. Some cases may require medications or hospitalization. Psychiatrists who work with hospitalized patients collaborate with other professionals to design treatment plans and monitor progress. Typically, it takes about 8 years of post undergraduate study to become a boardcertified psychiatrist – 4 years to complete your M.D. degree plus another 4 years of residency. If you include the time it takes to earn a bachelor’s degree, it takes at least 12 years of school and training to become a psychiatrist. The average annual salary for a psychiatrist in the US is $163,660. Those who were employed in the offices of physicians had an average salary of $154,650 per year. Those employed in outpatient care centers made an average of $190,340 per year.

Who would excel at this job? People who are hardworking, creative, observative, and detail oriented would excel at this job. Becoming a surgeon takes time and a lot of work so anyone who becomes a surgeon has to really want it and put 110% into it. Though surgeons make large salaries, it takes many years before you actually start making money so people that would excel at this job aren't money oriented but dedicated to the job itself. Being a surgeon also requires the person to be able to think on the spot and work under high pressure so they must be patient, calm, and focused.
Am I a good candidate? I believe that I would be a good candidate. Becoming a surgeon has been a dream of mine for many years now so I am willing to put in the time and effort. I also am detail oriented, and can think on the spot to think of solutions if I need to. But mainly, I love to help people. Are you still interested in this career? Yes I am because it is something that I am really passionate about. I was also already aware that I would have to go to school for a really long time which is one of the bigger drawbacks because of the debt.
What do you think is the best part of this career? I think the best part of this career is the gratification of being able to help people.
