HEALTH CAREER ORIENTATION PROGRAM
Are you interested to know what causes illnesses? Would you like to help people get
and stay healthy in any aspect of health?
Medical research, scientific research, and technical breakthroughs have made the health
science industry one of the most exciting and personally rewarding fields to explore. And the
most popular jobs in this cluster include those of doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors,
pharmacists, radiology technicians, and physical and occupational therapists.
A health career orientation is an activity-based career exploration to broaden your knowledge
about careers in the health field. Health career orientation helps you to:
• evaluate and assess such factors as personal needs, interests, and skills
• provide an opportunity to identify and explore health careers
• learn about the duties and responsibilities of health professionals
• acquire an awareness of a wide variety of educational training and resources for both
academic and vocational fields

careers, and decide on a career that works for you and your plan of action.

whose vision is to ensure that every person is healthy, free from any form of illness or disease.
They may be physicians with their own specialized field, or allied health professionals who
compliment them, such as nurses, physical therapists, medical technologists, among others.
To start a career in health, you must go through several years of formal education, an
extensive clinical training, and finally, certification to be officially recognized and duly licensed
