my name is Toby Marsha and I'm gonna be
talking about entry-level positions and
in medicine I work with people who are
primarily in a transition they may have
skills that they applied in another
field but now I want to go into
healthcare because it is pretty stable
and it's a growing industry so some of
the entry-level positions for people who
have a clerical background would be
something like medical billing and
coding or medical secretary medical
front office where they would be
reception and clerical skills so they
can utilize their skills from their
previous career but apply it to the
healthcare field for those who are
interested in the hands-on patient care
careers in healthcare one of the best
ways to get started is to work as a
certified nursing assistant or CNA
because you get the practical experience
of healthcare and that's been a great
entree for people who want to go on to
perhaps and nursing another area that
might be one of the areas that someone
might be interested in would be
phlebotomist you're dealing with drawing
blood and you're working in an
environment where it's you're getting
again that hands-on experience which is
another career field and an entry-level
position another area that some people
are interested in are the back office
and that entails more of again the
clinical side one of the best ways to
get into that field in addition to the
the training is doing volunteer work I
always encourage my clients to work as a
volunteer were there opportunities for
someone who may want to go into pharmacy
there's a pharmacy technician position
you would work with a pharmacist and
learned the the background of that
particular field and then there's a
dental assistant for people who may want
to go into that area of healthcare
because that's also a growing field so
those are some of the primary ways that
a person without little or hardly any
experience can get into that field
develop their expertise and go on to
have a very great career in medicine
