A few years ago, countries like the US and Canada opened job opportunities for registered nurses. A nursing course at a reputable nursing school became the popular choice for people who seek greener pastures, so to speak, in other countries. It seemed that everyone wanted to study nursing because of the promise of gaining employment in another country.

Medical assistant school became second only to nursing. Although there are still a lot of people who preferred to study medicine, nursing was a more popular choice because it was what was in demand then. There are three types of medical assistants. Administrative, Clinical and Clerical. Clerical medical assistants make sure that the doctors’ office or clinic runs smoothly. They schedule appointments, make sure the patients’ are treated well while waiting and basically handle the entire office altogether. Administrative medical assistants handle medical related tasks such as updating patient files, scheduling medical tests, bookkeeping and submitting medical claim firms. Clinical medical assistants are the ones who prepare patients before physical examinations as well as explain medical procedures to patients.

Different kinds of opportunities abroad in the field of health care increased which resulted in the high demand for health care providers. Health care career training, like nursing also became popular especially in Asian countries. The Philippines is one of the most famous countries for producing health care providers. These health care providers also known as care givers are people who assist patients in nursing homes and hospitals. They aid nurses and doctors alike to make sure that the patient is as comfortable as possible.
