Skilled Nursing and Long-term Care: As the population continues to age, there will be an even greater need for allied health professionals. Skilled nursing facilities need registered nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and occupational therapists, to name a few.
Acute Care and Hospitals: Patients who need short-term care like respiratory therapy, post-surgery recovery, and emergency services spend time in acute care facilities. There are a wide variety of options for allied health providers here. Because of the specialization, providers may get paid more than average and will get more experience in a specific area of care.
Medical Labs: Medical lab technicians and technologists work in medical laboratories in a variety of facilities. Acute care facilities, private practices, medical facilities, and specialized hospitals (memory care, oncology, children, etc.) are just a few. In 2016, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 335,700 medical and clinical laboratory technicians were employed, and that number and associated opportunities will continue to grow.
