17
Medicine and HealthRequirements
  • Health care professionals including doctors, RNs,
    LPNs, nurse practitioners, etc., must be licensed
    in every state.
  • Doctors must graduate from accredited medical
    schools, pass the United States Medical Licensing
    Examination, and complete 1-7 years of graduate
    medical school residency in their specialty.
  • A new doctor typically finds employment in a
    medical group, hospital, or HMO. With more
    experience, doctors can expect salary increases
    and possibly shares of the organization for which
    they work.
  • Some doctors advance into management positions,
    although most simply continue to practice
    medicine. A base of regular patients is often
    developed and fewer new patients may be accepted.
    As doctors approach retirement, they generally
    decrease their workloads and hours.

18
Medicine and HealthJob Outlook
  • Since managed care has steered patients towards
    primary-care physicians, the job outlook for
    general and family practitioners, general
    internists, and general pediatricians is good.
    Specialists will likely find less demand for
    their services and competition.
  • Our aging population will require more geriatric
    specialists and cardiologists as people live
    longer due to medical technology.
  • The number of jobs for EMTs, medical and surgical
    technicians, and occupational and physical
    therapists is expected to grow at a faster rate
    than overall job growth, and RNs are expected to
    see exceptionally high job growth.
  • Physicians and LPNs are expected to be in line
    with overall job growth. LPNs will find more
    opportunities in nursing homes and other
    care-giving settings for the elderly as the Baby
    Boom generation ages.

    demand for services.

24
Technology in Health Care
  • Technology may not be the industry's panacea
  • Loading patient and payer information, supply
    orders, and other administrative red tape onto
    computers organizes information and helps reduce
    costly errors
  • Technology solutions are also pricey and don't
    often fit into budgets.

  • American Medical Association
