A quick search through local news provides many examples of the relevance of the health care industry in our everyday lives. Last week the residents of Round Rock, TX came together to attempt to set a world record for most people in the state certified in CPR. Likewise local UT scientists recently published a study in the journal “eLife,” detailing new findings about the size and capacity of human memory. Another example of health care’s value is how Seton and the Dell Children’s Medical Center have implemented a one stop medical clinic pilot program for children with special needs and multiple medical problems. This clinic aims to relieve stress from parents who have to take their children to different specialists around the city. These are all examples of how citizens and professionals in health care and health care support are consistently thinking of the next breakthrough- of how to help people more efficiently and effectively. This industry is rapidly becoming one of the most significant industries for job seekers.
