If you are looking for a healthy career in the healthcare field, you are not alone here. Millions of people are buying interest in the healthcare sector because it is a noble profession and pays you well. As the number of people with different diseases continues to increase, doctors have witnessed an exponential increase in the demand for more health care professionals. This is the main reason why this sector is one of the most sought after out there. However, if you want to establish a successful career in this industry, you need to get the required courses and certifications.

 It is expected that health care jobs will witness a 24% increase in the next 10 years. This means people will have an extra 2 to 3 million jobs. Here, in this feature, we will gravitate you towards the top 6 highest paying professions in the healthcare industry.

1.      Physicians

In today’s time, surgeons and physicians are the highest-earning professionals in this sector. Physicians are responsible for diagnosing the disease and providing the necessary treatment to the patients. Contrary to this, surgeons, too, diagnose the problem but are responsible for providing physical treatment to the patients such as broken bones and tumors. A physician can make around $208,000 per year, which is a staggering figure. So if you want to be in control of your future, now is the perfect time to enroll in a medical program.

2.      Dentists

If you think dentists are amongst the lowest paid healthcare professionals, you’re terribly wrong! Right now, millions of dentists are having a major moment across the globe. They are acknowledged as the key players of this industry because they can easily make thousands of dollars from a single visit by their patient. If you want to become a dentist, you need to get a bachelor’s degree and study from a dentist’s school. Secondly, once you’re done with the degree, you need to pass the dental exam. A dentist can typically make around $159,000 per year. Once you become a dentist, you can become an instructor as well.

3.      Pharmacists

Unfortunately, this profession is often overlooked because most people believe pharmacists have to sift through the prescription and provide medicines to the patients. However, the truth be told, pharmacists have to go through a bachelor’s program and get a professional degree to enter the industry. However, if you want to register a good position in the healthcare industry, you need to make a good resume. A dentist can make around $122,000 per year. Pharmacists have to be omnipresent in pharmacies because they often have to provide urgent medicine to people who suffer from different health conditions.

4.      Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Anesthetists

They are responsible for providing anesthesia and medical help to the patients during and after the surgery has been performed. Nurse-midwives are an important part of the hospitals because they provide personalized care to women. On the other hand, conventional nurses serve as caregivers to improve the quality of a patient’s life. You need to have a master’s degree to enter the industry as a nurse. Secondly, if you want a good job in the healthcare sector, you must build a strong resume to introduce yourself to the market. Nurses can easily earn a staggering $107,000 per year.

5.      Physician Assistants

This profession has become paramount in the last few years because of the staggering increase in the number of patients suffering from different health conditions. They are responsible for diagnosing, examining, and treating the patients with help from the senior health experts. They and physicians work like a hand in glove with each other. Hadn’t it been for assistants, it would have been tough for the physicians to perform archaic procedures in the operation theatre. As a debutant, you need a master’s program to gain entry into the healthcare industry. Once you get an opportunity to remain stagnant in this profession, you will easily be able to earn around $100,000 per year.

6.      Physical Therapists

These healthcare professionals are a concrete part of the industry because they are responsible for helping medically challenged patients move around. When it comes to talking about mobility in this industry, physical therapists occur as the first thought in everyone’s minds. All you need is a doctorate degree. As a physical therapist, you will easily be able to make $84,000 per year. However, you need to weigh the pros and cons of becoming one. As a physical therapist, you will be working with people 24/7. Because they need help with mobility, you need to be omnipresent for them.

So these were some of the most lucrative professions of the healthcare industry. More than the money, healthcare professionals are applauded for their service and dedication to humanity. So if you have the power to bring a positive change in someone’s life, choose one of these career options right now.
