As highlighted on a recent podcast from the bestselling authors of Freakonomics, more people are remaining at work past traditional retirement age. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, the trend of increasing older workers is expected to continue throughout the decade. The recent recession and an overall aging of the population are likely causes of this trend. As workers stay at their jobs, the necessity of professioanls who provide wellness skills, such as Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy Assistance, should likewise continue to increase. SOLEX College continues to develop its excellent programs in these careers!

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have realized the health benefits of Massage Therapy. Massage techniques (often referred to as “modalities”) have evolved to promote well-being, reduce stress and assist in rehabilitation after injury. From elder care to prenatal massage and from luxurious resorts to professional sports, massage therapy has continued to grow as an essential component of healthy living.

In the world of health care, the career possibilities are endless. The beauty of the medical world, with all its career options, is that you can make your career your own. The difficulty is trying to narrow it down and determine which health care career path is the best one for you. Becoming either a certified nursing assistant (CNA) or a medical assistant are both great places to start.

A certified nursing assistant (CNA) is a term used for a person assisting patients with activities of daily living. This would include eating, bathing, dressing and bed making. A CNA works under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). A CNA may work in a variety of healthcare settings, such as hospitals, extended care facilities, nursing homes and clinics.

Until I started working at SOLEX College, I had never heard the term "medical assistant", and I had no idea that there was such a thing as "medical assistant school". I've been to the doctor and been poked and prodded, but I just assumed the person administering these procedures was a nurse. Turns out that might not be the case. They were probably medical assistants. So now that I know these people exist, I wanted to find out what they go through to become capable of doing their jobs.
