2023 Top Healthcare Jobs

With the country still recovering from Covid, Covid fatigue still plagues the healthcare system.  Healthcare employers realize they need to provide better benefits for their employees.

This awareness could be good news for those employed in the medical care field. The facilities now have to look hard and find solutions for burnout among their workers due to their being overworked and underpaid.

In addition, the increased demand for treatment and care for diseases and our aging population necessitates adding positions in most hospitals and managed care organizations.

Facilities are looking at facilitating change by streamlining work, eliminating some administrative tasks, and taking better care of their workers. The year 2023 may be much more favorable for healthcare jobs.

Nurse Practitioners

Nurse practitioners will continue to be in demand for 2023, and the market will continue to grow through 2030. Quality patient care is a high priority, and nurse practitioners can offer preventative and primary care in some states. The field has opened up to diagnosing and prescribing medications for their patients.

Registered nurses may consider obtaining a master’s degree to advance for a pay increase.

Registered Nurses

The demand for registered nurses has always been high, but since the pandemic, demand has been even higher. More specialized nursing degrees have more pay in the field, but hospitals now offer better pay and better benefits for general registered nurses positions.

Occupational Therapy Assistants

Hospitals need to move patients back home as quickly as possible to maintain space for patients with acute care needs. Occupational Therapists help patients to continue their recovery and provide education for life skills outside of the hospital.

The occupational therapy assistant’s role in the medical field is increasingly essential in streamlining hospital care.

Home Health Aides

As our population ages, there is a significant demand for home healthcare aides. Chronic diseases and disabilities are treated more in the home environment, and the need for more home health aides has increased.

Physical Therapy Assistants

Physical therapy assistant positions are growing faster than average. Getting people with injuries or illnesses to move and manage their pain is the primary concern of hospitals and physicians.

Home health agencies, nursing homes, and outpatient facilities also know the value of physical therapy assistants during the patient’s recovery.

Health Services Managers

Directing and coordinating health services for facilities or departments within the facilities is essential for any hospital or nursing facility. Health services managers manage the patient’s services according to regulations and technology.

Physician Assistants

Physician assistants provide medical examinations and diagnoses and offer treatments in collaboration with doctors and surgeons. Physician assistants allow physicians and surgeons to keep track of more patients more economically.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Counselors

More awareness of the need for these counselors is surfacing daily. The evaluation and assessment for problems like addictions, alcoholism, and recovery and the work in mental health services will continue to grow.

Medical Imaging

Radiation Therapists, Nuclear medicine Technologists, Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, MRI/Radiologic Technologists, and Cardiovascular Technologists are all in demand. New technologies and streamlining imaging processes have opened the medical imaging field to more job opportunities.

Jobs in the healthcare field continue to grow. The aging population in the United States has continued to expand, and patients continue to require care in the facilities and at home. The pandemic showed weaknesses in our healthcare systems, and a new generation of workers will strengthen those weaknesses.
