  Week in Review brought to you by: American Medical Technologists

 
Occupational Overview: Health Sciences
At some point, the healthcare field touches the lives of every American. From birth to hospice care, whether we seek a doctor’s consultation, need a prescription filled or take a day off from work, we all eventually depend on the care or advisement of someone in the health care system. This well-established field, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is projected to add more than 4 million jobs – than any other industry between 2012 and 2022. The BLS also projects healthcare to be among the fastest-growing industries in the economy, growing nearly 19 percent through 2016 and adding as many as 5.5 million jobs – more than any other segment of the economy.
 
A field with this much growth warrants special attention from our sector and, likewise, from Career College Central. Every month, we bring you the latest happenings in Health Sciences so you can stay informed about this booming industry
 
Career Focus: Phlebotomy
Phlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations. Some explain their work to patients and provide assistance when patients have adverse reactions after their blood is drawn.Employment of phlebotomists is projected to grow 25 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, blood donor centers, and other locations will need phlebotomists to perform blood work.
