Answer:

The five different careers in Health Science that I would like to purse are nurse practioner, nutritionist, radiology technologist, physicians assistant and emergency medical technician. The three that appeal most to me is the nurse practioner, radiology technologist, and emercengy medical technician. The career choice and educational pathway that appeals to me the most is radiology technologist.

A radiology technologist is responsible for taking a picture of the patients x-ray, examining it and treating it. As a radiologic technologist I would need to check to make sure all the equipment is operational before taking any images. They work in anatomy and use many different equipment such as x-rays, MRI, computed tomography, etc. Sometimes before creating the image I would need to prepare and inject radiopharmaceutical agents into patients. Also, I may help physicians perform procedures such as angioplasty or stent insertion. I like this career because I am intereseted in learning about the human body and I want to help patients.

The colleges or universities that have the program to become a radiology technologist are Long Island University, University of Wisconsin La Crosse and Manhattan College. In order to purse this career I would need a associate's and bachelor's degree which takes about four years. Also, it would be a good idea to go training and attend certificate programs for radiology techs that take around a year. The best credentials are combinations of formal training, a professional license and work experience.
