There are many opportunities since an aging population and growing number of people with chronic conditions will significantly increase the demand for medical care. In fact, healthcare occupations are expected to account for about 2 of every 5 new jobs added to the economy between 2022 and 2032. At the same time, overall employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 11.2% from 2022 to 2032 — four times faster than the average for all occupations. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Many of these occupations also pay well. For example, the median annual wage for healthcare practitioners and technical occupations was $77,760 in 2022, well above the median of $46,310 for all workers. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you think you need a lot of education to have a good-paying career in healthcare, that’s not always the case. Here are 10 selected fast-growing healthcare occupations that pay more than the median annual wage and only need an associate degree or less education to enter. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Note: Most healthcare occupations are regulated by states, which means they require a license, certification or registration.

Existen muchas oportunidades, ya que el envejecimiento de la población y el aumento en el número de personas con enfermedades crónicas aumentará significativamente la demanda de atención médica. De hecho, se espera que las profesiones en el sector de la atención médica representen alrededor de 2 cada 5 nuevos puestos de trabajo añadidos a la economía entre 2022 y 2032. Al mismo tiempo, se prevé que el empleo total en el sector de la atención médica crezca un 11.2 % de 2022 a 2032: cuatro veces más rápido que el promedio de todos los empleos. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="es-419">Además, muchos de estos empleos están bien remunerados. Por ejemplo, el salario mediano anual para profesionales y técnicos de la atención médica fue de $77,760 en 2022, muy por encima de la mediana de $46,310 para todos los trabajadores. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="es-419">Si cree que se necesita mucha educación para tener un buen trabajo en este sector, no siempre es así. A continuación, se presentan 10 profesiones en el sector de la atención médica con un rápido crecimiento, que reciben una remuneración superior al salario mediano anual y que solo necesitan un título de asociado o menos para entrar.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="es-419">Nota: Los estados regulan la mayoría de los empleos en el sector de la atención médica, lo que significa que se necesita una licencia, una certificación o un registro.
