PREFACE
The rapid development of the medical sciences in the past two decades has fostered advancements in allied fields and, in addition, has glVen rise to completely new occupations. Many of these occupations have achieved professional status. The Jomt Council on Paramedical Education and the Allied Medical Careers Clubs seek to promote the continuance of the profeSSIOnal standing of the occupations they represent.
It is hoped that the participation of the Georgia State Department of Education in publishing and distributing this pamphlet will encourage further interest in the occupations described herein, as well as fostering curiosity regarding occupations not included here.
Claude L. Purcell State Superintendent of Schools

THE JOINT COUNCIL ON PARAMEDICAL EDUCATION IN GEORGIA
The objectives of the Joint Council on Paramedical Education in Georgia are:
(1) To serve as a cooperating group in order that professional organizations interested in paramedical education may have a part in planning and supporting effective programs for the education and training of manpower.
(2) To facilitate the use of existing resources most effectively in order to meet the increased demand for professional and technical personnel in the several paramedical areas such as: (a) nursing, (b) medical technology, (c) medical records, (d) hospital dietetics, (e) x-ray technology, (f) medical social work, (g) clinical psychology, (h) hospital administration and nursing home ad ministration, and (i) other special fields that are considered essential.
(3) To assist in planning and inaugurating such studies as may be necessary, to advise relative to securing scholarships for students in the field of paramedical education, and to make provision for informational and consultative services to all agencies of the Council as may be required.
In view of these objectives, the Joint Council on Paramedical Education, the State Department of Education, and the Allied Medical Careers Clubs, Inc., present this issue of "Health Careers in Georgia" to make known the opportunities offered in the health fields as a way of life for those boys and girls who want to dedicate their lives to helping those who may need their services.

Allied Medical Careers Clubs, Incorporated
Allied Medical Careers Clubs, Incorporated is an organized and legally incorporated group, acting to promote, stimulate, and support the education and training of high school boys and girls who are interested in health careers. Through this brochure, it is hoped to clarify and condense the requirements and the many phases of these professional groups.

. . is a health profession dealing directly with the teeth and all oral tissues, and indirectly with the entire body. The dentist must be able to read scientific information with comprehension, use and understand the meanings of words, reason with numbers and use quantitative material, understand basic scientific principles. visualize the reconstruction of two-andthree dimensional patterns, and use hands and fingers with dexterity.
OPPORTUNITIES . . . Most dentists are in private prac-
tice. Others specialize in public health, oral pathology, oral surgery, orthodontics, pedodontics, periodontics, or prosthodontics. Some are administrative specialists in dental organizations while others are in the federal dental services. Some are on the staffs of general hospitals, on staffs of dental schools, or in dental research. The demand for dentists is increasing with the nation's population and as the public becomes educated to the need for dental care.
EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS . . . All dental
schools require at least two years of pre-professional education in an accredited college or junior college. ThIS includes one year each 0 English, biology, physics, and inorganic chemistry, and a half year of orgamc chemIstry. Each dental school may have slightly different requirements.
Dental education has three main areas: (1) The academic area includes anatomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, histology, pathology, pharma COlOgy, and physiOlogy. (2) The area of practIce of dental science in cludes clinical traimng, with study of dental materials, diagnosis endodontics, operative dentistry, oral anatomy and surgery, orth dontics, and other related subjects. (3) The third area dealS with pr fessional matters including history of dentistry, practice manag ment, ethics, and jurisprudence.

... is the science of nutrition-the technical skill of feeding individuals and groups. The dietitian must like people, have an apprecIation for hIgh standards of cookery, share knowledge through teaching as well as have the ability and health to meet the demands of her work.
OPPORTUNITIES . . . A career in dietetics can cover a
wide scope. The hospital field engages more than half the dietitians in this country but other phases include industry, research, military service, colleges, school lunch, commercial food service, test kitchens, community nutrition, newspapers, and teaching. It is usual for the dietitian to work an eight-hour day and 40 to 44 hours a week. Annual salaries for both dietitians and nutritionists compare favorably with those of other professional workers.
EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. . A high
school course with preparation for college entrance requirements is sufficient to prepare for dietetics. Training for a dietetic career begins in the Home Economics Department of an accredited college where preference can be made in Nutrition or Institutional Management. Having a B.S. Degree with basic preparation in nutrition, various sciences, psychology, economics and principles of teaching, the dietitian spends one more year in an approved Dietetic Internship. During this time, acquired knowledge is put to practical and professional use by participating in planning, buying, preparing and serving food, visiting patients, attending classes, lectures and seminars.

. in recent years has evolved into a special career in- its own right. Since World War II there has been an accelerated public program of hospital construction and expansion of privately sponsored hospital facIlIties. The modern hospital is an increasingly complex enterpnse. The hospital organizatIOn with its myriad technical services, skills and professional levels which must work as a team, requires a high level of administrative and managerial competency. The administrator must have a familiarity with the physical aspects of hospital plant and equipment, as well as business abilIty to keep a large enterprise operatmg efficiently. He must also be an organizer of many skills and services carried out by professional people. The ad-
ministrator is no longer the caretaker of a workshop for others-he
has become a responsible health leader who organizes the services of others and sees to it that high standards are mamtained. This role requires unusual organizing abilities together with specialized training.

OPPORTU N ITI ES . . . for administrators have been plenti-
ful since 1950 due to the heavy upsurge in hospital construction. In the 1960's there will continue to be opportunities resulting from turnover and the continued expansion of hospitals, though the urgent demand has subsided. Compensation to those who enter the field is reo latively good and compares favorably with other types of institutional administration. Though a difficult responsibility, hospital administration offers many self rewards in community service and prestige.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS . . . In the early
1950's Georgia was unique in organizing the first undergraduate ed ucational program for the field through Georgia State Collge in At lanta. This program offers a specialized course of study leading to the B.B.A. Degree. Students not starting in the college as freshmen may apply for enrollment in the special courses leading to a degree, if they have at least two years of prior college work.
In the higher positions, particularly in the large hospitals, the caree administrator beginning today is usually required to have a master's degree. A number of universities over the country offer graduate programs.

. . . . As a medical record librarian, a boy or girl will become an important member of the medical
research team. He or she is responsible for preserv-
ing the medical record, for making it available for research, checking it for completeness, indexing
many kinds of medical information from it, and using this information as a source of hospital sta-
tistics. Often it is the responsibility of the medical record personnel to contribute parts of the record
by transcribing the doctor's dictation on such things as operations, x-ray examinations, histories, physical examinations, and pathology findings.

There are two levels of personnel - the medical record librarian must be an intelligent, ambitious individual interested in working
with responsible hospital personnel for the welfare of the patient. He or she needs a large measure of ability in human relations in addition to mastery of techniques of medical record practice. The medical record technician carries on the technical tasks of medical record work under the supervision of a medical record lib-
rarian.

OPPORTU N ITI ES. . . Medical record librarians and
medical record technicians are much in demand and the supply is far short of the need. Either may look forward to obtaining work in about any section of the country of their choosing. There are jobs
available in hospitals, clinics, health departments, and other paramedical organizations.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS .... There are
three ways to become a registered medical record librarian:
a. After two years of college, go to one of the approved schools of medi-

cal record librarians. Take the registration examination.

b. Take the degree course in one of the four year approved schools. Take

the examination.

c. After two years of college, work for five years under a registered record librarian and then take the registration examination.

To become an accredited medical record technician, a graduate of
high school may attend a school for medical record technicians for a period of at least nine months. Then he is eligible to take an accreditation examination. Upon successful completion of this examination, he earns the title of Accredited Medical Record Technician.

.. , is one of the youngest but most vitally important professions in the medical field. These technically skilled individuals perform the various chemical, microscopic, bacteriologic and other medical laboratory procedures used in the diagnosis, study and treatment of disease. This is satisfying "behind the scene" work where the medical technologist works with microscopes, test tubes, and other precision instruments to analyze and examine samples of body fluids and tissues. A sound scientific background is essential for the work performed in this field. In addition, the medical technologist must combine patience, precision, and good judgment with education to be an effective member of the medical team.
OPPORTUNITIES . . . Those who prepare themselves pro-
perly have unlimited job opportunities in hospitals, physicians' private laboratories, armed forces, public health agencies, industrial medical laboratories, pharmaceutical houses, and in many research programs on specific diseases being carried on by various groups, public and private alike. The salary is dependent upon such factors as education, formal training, experience, locale, and the extent of professional responsibility.

medicine and 8urfjery
. . . . are health professions dealing directly with preserving the health and preventing or treating all diseases or disorders of the human body. The physician or surgeon must meet high requirements in personal responsibility, in individual judgment, and in the capacity to make decisions. The prospective medical student must have a firstrate capacity for thinking and learning, and he must do well in science courses like chemistry and biology. He must have intellectual curiosity, initia-
tive, judgment and determination to stick to his goal. He must have good health to see him through the strenuous years of study. Emotional stability and human understanding are important attributes. The prospective student must be tempered with objective judgment and the courage to be guided more by reason than personal feelings.
OPPORTUNITIES . . . Most physicians are in private prac-
tice. Others serve on hospital staffs, health departments, medical schools, research institutions, school systems, business and industry, various organizations and the armed forces. In addition to general practice, there are about 20 recognized fields of medical specialization: anesthesiology, dermatology and syphilology, internal medicine, neurosurgery, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pathology, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, plastic surgery, and urology.
EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. .. Approved
medical schools require at least three years of college, and many require four years for admission. The full four years of college allow a broader general education and a better chance in the competitive exams prior to admission to medical school. In Georgia, the Emory University School of Medicine requires one year each of English, physics and biology, plus six quarters of chemistry (inorganic, organic and analytical). The Medical College of Georgia requires the same, plus a year of embryology.

is an occupational field vitally concerned with the physical and mental care of the sick and disabled, as well as the welfare of the
normal individual. Professional and practical
nurses are important associates of the physician in caring for patients in preventive, curative and re-
habilitative health fields. The professional nurse must have the ability to coop,erate with other workers and assume responsibility for direction of the members of the nursing team. She must be able to perform complex procedures, make sound judgments, observe carefully,

Y ~~ ' ~~

use initiative, and act oli good understanding of personal relations. The practical nurse, too, must develop a degree of competence in nursing procedures and interpersonal relations.

OPPORTUNITIES .. . . Nursing is a field for both men and
women. Today in hospitals, public health agencies, industry, clinics, offices and other care facilities, the skills of the nurse are needed to care for the ill and injured, as well as aid in the maintenance of optimum health. Positions in patient care, supervision, teaching administration, and health maintenance are available to the professional nurse while the work of the practical nurse is primarily in the field of patient care. Salaries are dependent upon the preparation, abilities, and experience of the nurse.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. .. The usual
college preparatory course of study with educational achievement in the upper third or half of the high school class will provide adequate
preparation for entrance into a school of professional nursing.' Practical nursing schools vary in requirements. While high school graduation is preferred, individual consideration is given to those with less education. Graduates of BSN programs are prepared for a first level public health position. This preparation is given in two schools of nursing in Georgia.

NURSING-CONTINUED
Professional nurse programs in Georgia are three or four years in length. The three-year diploma program is usually provided by the hospital schools of nursing. The four-year program leading to a bachelor's degree in nursing is college controlled, combining college and professional education. Completion of either accredited program qualifies the graduate to take licensure examinations to become a Registered Nurse (R.N.). Practical nursing programs are one year in length and are offered by hospitals and some public school systems. Graduation from an accredited program qualifies ~n individual to take the examination tQ become a Licensed Practical Nurse (L.P.N.).

The accredited schools of occupational therapy have individual prerequisites, but the following may serve as a guide. High school students interested in this field should take such college preparatory subjects as algebra, geometry, biology, chemistry, physics, and languages. Junior college students or undergraduates at other schools should have a background of biological and/or physical science, English, psychology, and sociology. Some schools may also require art, speech, etc. Many occupational therapy schools offer an 18-22 month program for holders of a Bachelor's Degree who have majored in biology, psychology, sociology, physical education, home economics, or art. All of the above programs include a minimum requirement of ten months of clinical practice in various types of hospitals and institutions. When this is completed. the individual takes a national registration examination. Satisfactory completion of all these requirements then entitles one to use the initials O.T.R. (Occupational Therapist, Registered) after his name.

. . . workers are engaged in a variety of satisfying careers which are important in protecting, maintaining, and improving the health of the community.

This includes such activities as the following:

(l) immunization against diseases

.

(2) protection of water supplies from contamina

tion

(3) maternal and child health

(4) prevention of dental disease

(5) early detection of infectious diseases, such

as chronic diseases

(6) investigation of food poisoning outbreaks

(7) maintenance of sanitary conditions in res-

taurants

(8) prevention of accidents

(9) helping people adiust to emotional problems.

Sometimes protecting the health of the public in general reo quires hastening the cure of certain illnesses. For this reason, pub lic health p'rovides hospital care for certain kinds of chronic and infectious Illnesses. Public health is concerned with correcting crippling conditions in children and also providing adequate hos pitals throughout the State. To keep people well, many other activities are necessary - accurate laboratory examinations of speci mens; recording births and deaths, with particular attention to causes of death; analysis of public health statistics; and preparation of health information materials.

OPPORTUNITIES . . . The widely varied activities of pub
lic health call for workers with many different skills. Public health physicians, dentists, nurses, nutritionists, laboratory workers, sani tarians, engineers, educators, and social workers team up to organize the efforts in the community in the prevention of disease and the promotion of physical and mental health.
EDUCATIONAL REQU IREMENTS. . . Obviously
specialized academic preparation is required for the professional positions in public health. Other work calls for college graduation. High school graduates, particularly those who took business courses, fill other places.
