Is a Health Science Career for You?
People considering careers in health sciences typically tend to think primarily of doctors and nurses. But there is also the sonographer, the nutritionist, the cytotechnologist, the mental health counselor, and the health information manager, among dozens of other health professionals, who provide diagnostic and therapeutic services.
