Five Emerging Industries for Bilingual Careers: Health Care

October 28, 2009

This week’s focus is on emerging industries for bilingual jobs in the U.S. and the types of jobs bilingual candidates can find within those fields. The third industry that we feel is among the top five for bilingual jobs is health care. (For previous emerging industries, read this post and this post.)

Health Care

Nowhere is it more evident than in the field of health care that the United States must respond to the needs of our diverse population. We need to increase the access to quality care for all citizens, including those who only speak a foreign language. Hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical insurance agencies all hire bilingual employees to address these needs.  In addition to improving communication between health care providers and their patients who come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, medical care employers are also looking to broaden the diversity in health care leadership and administration.

Hospitals in particular are excellent sources of jobs for the bilingual job-seeker. The types of positions that are needed to be filled include: hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, medical assistants, emergency medical technicians, case managers, health educators, counselors, and billing/accounting representatives.

We have two emerging industries for bilingual jobs left to cover!
