The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the number of Americans over the age of 65 will double between 2010 and 2050 to more than 88 million. With increased age comes an increased need for doctors, medicine and procedures, leading to the U.S. Bureau of Labor’s prediction of an additional 3.2 million jobs in healthcare by 2018. Those desiring a career in these fields are in the right place at the right time to get in on the ground floor of a booming industry.
GlobalHealth Education was founded 2009 by Deborah Kann Schwarzberg, to provide educational services to employees of healthcare, emergency services and homeland security companies. For healthcare and homeland security companies, GlobalHealth Education can convert corporate content into college credit-worthy modules delivered online. Employees appreciate the ability to learn asynchronously and earn college credits for a career requirement. The employer appreciates cost-benefits by delivering the content online.
To meet the current and future demand for healthcare workers in both the United States and around the world, GlobalHealth Education offers a variety of online degree programs to provide the knowledge and qualifications needed for employees to thrive in the industry. Whether employee needs lie in hospital management, health administration, or the hands-on work of a registered nurse or physical therapist, GlobalHealth Education will assist them in identifying programs that best fit their needs and schedules through our nationwide partnerships with traditional colleges.
Students interested in nursing can earn their RN-BSN degrees through La Salle University and RN-MSN degrees through Simmons College. Masters in Informatics and Health Administration, as well as Doctorates in Physical Therapy and Nursing Practices are also available.
While GlobalHealth Education provides the tools to train the next generation of healthcare workers, resources are also available to those already in the industry seeking advancement or a new career path. Nurses, technicians and other staff members can use GlobalHealth Education’s programs to learn new skills to help place them on the management track to Director, CEO, or even to open their own healthcare-related business. Serving industries such as Biomedical Manufacturing, Home Healthcare, Hospice, Long-term Care, Medical Insurance, Oncology Research & Treatment, Pharmaceuticals, Rehabilitation and Surgery – to name a few – there are numerous directions to take their studies and eventual careers.
While it is true that none of us are ‘getting any younger,’ there is reason to look upon our advancing years with optimism rather than despair as our aging population creates new and profitable opportunities in the growing healthcare industry.
After surveying the Top 20 in-demand, online degrees in the United States, Education Dynamics named Healthcare Administration 6th and Nursing 8th of all available programs. As Florida’s over-60 population grows, those industries are sure to climb higher as private practices, hospitals, hospices and other healthcare facilities hire additional staff to meet the needs of an ever-increasing client base.
As the world’s population continues to age, the healthcare industry will have an urgent need for qualified workers covering a wide spectrum of skills and abilities. Let GlobalHealth Education help you take full advantage of this need by providing the best in online education and training to care for our aging population.
