Storyboard Text
- Hey kids! My name is Cameron, I'm taking this really fun and cool class called Intro to the Health Profession!!!
- OOOooooooo, ahhhhhhh.
- And I realized that many people don't know about all the different health professions, and that is a tragedy.
- So, I decided to do something about it.....
- So, follow me and I will tell you about a few of them!
- The first is a medical transcriptionist,this is a person who takes notes during a doctor's visit and turns them into electronic notes
- This is an important step in healthcare because having accurate records is crucial to a patient's treatment and care
- l
- Going to college is not required, but employers prefer to hire individuals who have a postsecondary degree in medical transcription
- Not only this, but the job outlook is also expected to decline 7% in the next 10 years.
- Medical scribes make on average $30,000 a year
- Medical transcriptionists must be able to write and type very quick to keep accurate notes!
- The next job we will look at is a registered nurse!
- But if you do what the doc said and give each student an A, you will be just fine!
- They record patients' symptoms and medical records, diagnose problems, and may even provide medication
- Well Mrs. Pacioles, I see you are suffering from being too cool,
- l
- Nurse's make an excellent living, averaging $123,000 per year.
- One good thing about being a nurse is it is a very broad field, so there are lots of options to explore what is best for you!
- I'm so glad you asked Dr. Pacioles, follow me and I'll show you!
- Very interesting Cameron! What are some other awesome jobs we can learn about?
- His job is to make sure patients are getting the right and correct amount of medicine
- Moving right along, this man here is a pharmacist.
- The field of pharmaceutical's is expected to increase 2% in the next 10 years, so if you work hard there is room for you to succeed right now
- Pharmacists make an excellent living, averaging $128,000 but as much as $164,000
- Becoming a pharmacist will be hard work, they must complete 8 years of schooling and then pass the NAPLEX and the MPJE exams to become licensed
- Let's see what our next career is....
- This woman here is a physical therapist.
- Her job is to oversee a person who has been injured or is impaired, and give them treatment and other recovery methods to help them improve physical mobility
- l
- The field itself is expected to grow 17%, which is much faster than normal. This means there is lots of room for employment as a PT
- Physical Therapists make on average $95,000 per year.
- Did you know that the field of physical therapy began in 453 BC in Ancient Greece. And it became a profession during WWI to rehabilitate wounded soldiers
- Now, let's look at a different type of therapist, and how they are different...
- Our next career is an occupational therapist. His job is to help children and adults develop motor skills to get through everyday activities.
- Occupational therapists make a decent living, averaging about $61,000 per year
- The good news is that the job market is growing at 14%, so there will be plenty of jobs available!
- One cool thing about being an occupational therapist is since they are working on motor skills people will use on a daily basis, some prefer to work from the patients home setting!
- I am a chiropractor, my job is to observe and adjust the patient's spine, nerves and administer treatment to the muscles of my patients
- I make a decent living, averaging about $75,000, per year. Also, there is plenty of room for all of us, because the field is currently increasing by 10%
- One neat thing about us chiropractors is we are considered primary care physicians!
- This means we can create diagnosis and administer treatment and checkups to our patients
- I am a dietician, my job is to analyze my patients diet and health problems, and create a meal plan for them to follow to benefit their health and improve their way of life
- Dieticians make on average $61,000, which is not bad at all!
- Ma'am, this kale and vinegar smoothie sucks!
- But you're healthy, so shut up and enjoy it.
- And in the next 10 years, there is expected to be a 7% increase in the job outlook
