The most preferred career choice of teenagers is either engineering or medicine. Those who take up biology, physics and chemistry after their 10^th, and study hard to get a medical seat get disturbed when finally they don’t get admission in a medical college. This is a very difficult thing especially for students who graduate in life sciences only without changing their path towards management studies. One of the major concerns at this stage is the range of the career options for students of life sciences. Many people think that the only option life sciences graduates have before them is to take up teaching. But this is not true. Let us take a look at the career choices available to life science graduates that can be polished with training.

For this medical transcriptionists listen to the audio files sent by a physician regarding the medication, treatments and procedures performed on a patient and then record them in standard formats that become the electronic records of a patient’s medical history. To become a medical transcriptionist good knowledge of English language, medical terminology and human anatomy is necessary which can be gained through training.

MedicalCoding: Medical coding is a process of giving internationally accepted alpha numeric codes to all the medical procedures performed on a patient so that they are useful in the acceleration of insurance reimbursements. The medical codes also play a significant role in the health care studies conducted by various organizations.  Medical coding is a field that requires attention to detail and hence medical coders have to be highly alert while doing their job without which the health care providers may have to financial implications.

Medicalbilling: Medical billing is a process which interacts between a health care provider and an insurance company that reimburses medical claims.

All this has to be done conforming to the regulatory standards applicable. The role of clinical data managers is very crucial because they convert the raw data available from clinical research into valuable analyzed reports that are complete, reliable and statistically accurate.

Pharmacovigilance: Also known as drug safety, pharmacovigilance is related to the work of identifying the adverse effects of pharmaceutical products (medicines/drugs). Data for this is collected from patients and health care providers which is very critical in health care industry to identify pharmaceutical hazards and to prevent or minimize the risk to patients.
