If somebody wants to enter into health care field then medicine is not the only option. I've seen many students who deliberately enter into medicines, not knowing whether they want this career or not. Their low results then gradually make them understand that they are not meant for medicine.
A similar thing happened with one of my friend. When she realized that she wants something other than medicine, she had already wasted 3 years. At that time it was very difficult for her to switch career and again waste few more years. Then she thought of online education. She got information about some very good colleges offering online education. She was interested in medical tools and testing blood and all, so she opted the medical lab technician course.
The best thing is that she only needs 2 years to complete her course that to online, means she can engage herself in any other course or any job side ways also. Now she is quite comfortable with the new career. So I would suggest that if anybody wants to start a career or wants to change an existing career then online education is the best way. The following site would give you information about the career in medical lab technician.
