Launch Your Allied Health Career with Online Certification Through AAH
The healthcare industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, opening doors for individuals looking to start a stable and rewarding career. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment in healthcare support occupations and practitioners and technical occupations is projected to grow 15.2% and 8.6% from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the 4.0% average for all occupations. This growth is fueled by an aging population, an increase in chronic conditions, and the ongoing demand for preventative care.
This boom in healthcare means it’s a great time to enter the field of allied health, a category that includes vital support roles like medical assistants, EKG technicians, pharmacy technicians, and more. These roles are essential to patient care and are in demand across all 50 states.
