| Job Outlook | | Employment of health educators is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations and job prospects are expected to be favorable. Growth will result from the rising cost of health care and the increased recognition of the need for qualified health educators. The emphasis on health education has been coupled with a growing demand for qualified health educators. In the past, it was thought that anyone could do the job of a health educator and the duties were often given to nurses or other healthcare professionals.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that there are 62,000 employed as health educators in the year 2006. |
