Healthcare & Medical Schools in Florida
At times it may seem that the only reason to move to Florida is the weather, but there should be another reason: the promise of Florida's well-rounded lifestyle. Florida residents enjoy a moderate cost of living, the cultural epicenter of St. Petersburg/Clearwater area, the beaches of Miami and Daytona, fishing off Key West, and hiking through Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida.
Several sectors of the healthcare industry have been increasing rapidly over the last few years in Florida, particularly healthcare administration, medical assisting, and health information technology. From 2006 to 2014, Florida labor market statistics project a job growth of almost 5% for medical assistants, 2.5% for medical technicians, and 2.6% for all other healthcare support workers. In 2005, Florida employed 26,470 medical assistants, earning $12 per hour on average. Medical technicians held 6,260 jobs and made $16 an hour. Training for such medical jobs is available at a variety of Florida vocational schools, community colleges, and junior colleges.
