1. Finding a Career in a Medical Specialty
When you know that you are interested in the medical field, but you do not want to spend the
time and money needed to go to medical school, you may want to start looking into the medical
specialties that are available to you.
Get some schooling under your belt
Some specialties will require you to get a specific certificate
while other companies may require you to get a degree.
As you are looking through your options, you should be sure
that you know how you are going to choose the right program.
Do your research ahead of time so you can be sure that your
program is going to set you up to be qualified for the career
that you are most interested in.,
Assess your personality
Assessing your personality can help you find the specialty that is going to be fulfilling for you
throughout the rest of your life.
You should understand that you are going to be interacting with a variety of people throughout
your career in many medical specialties. If you are uncomfortable interacting with a wide variety
of people, it is important that you take note of this early on in your education.
There are some medical specialties that will not require you to be interacting with people on a
consistent basis. When you work within these medical professions, you have to understand that
you are going to be working in labs.
More than likely, you will also find that the majority of medical
specialties are going to require you to be on your feet on a
consistent basis. When you are on your feet on a daily basis and
throughout the whole day you have to know how you are going to
care for your body.
As you are working on your feet on a daily basis, you will need to
make sure that you are caring for your body. Standing up
throughout the majority of your shift can be hard on your joints,
your feet, and even on the muscles throughout your body.
Make sure that you are comfortable at work

2. Find the right shoes, stretch every night when you get home, or make sure that you have a
padded mat that you can stand on if you are standing in one place for the majority of the day.
A medical specialty can be a great option for those that are interested in the healthcare field.
Take time to look through the schools in your area and find a specialty that not only fits the
ambitions that you have for your career but also fits the needs that you have as a result of your
personality.
