These Certifications Can Help You Get The Best Return On Your Educational Investment, Without Needing A Bachelor’s Degree

 

Not all healthcare certifications will carry the same return on investment for salary during the course of your career in the field. Having the right certifications can make all the difference in not only how quickly you can start a career within the ever-expanding field of healthcare, but also in how much you will earn over the course of your working years.

Our research partner, Burning Glass, has compiled data to pinpoint the certifications that will give you the highest salary boost in the healthcare field, in jobs requiring less than a Bachelor’s degree. The three most beneficial certifications include:



 

As you can see from the list above, coding professionals and specialists gain a very strong start with certifications, for those interested in beginning a career in healthcare with a salary boost, and especially if you are looking for jobs that do not require a Bachelor’s degree. Coders often work in office settings and do not have the hands-on responsibilities with patients that other healthcare specialists do. However, if you are someone who wants to work directly in patient care, certified personal fitness trainers often get the opportunity to work alongside physical and occupational therapists. Personal trainers often get to help therapy assistant staff, too, which is a growing subset within the healthcare field. Certified personal fitness trainers often begin seeing new clientele after physical and occupational therapy regimens are considered complete, to assist patients in maintaining the mobility and strength that they gained through needed therapy. But, whether you want to work in a medical office setting or directly with patients, having the right certifications for your current and future goals can help you gain a strong start for your earning potentials.

There are many roles and career paths within the large professional field of healthcare, and there are lots of jobs suited to all different personality types and interests, too.
