The most preferred career choice of teenagers is
either engineering or medicine. Those who take up biology, physics and
chemistry after their 10th, 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.
MedicalTranscription: Medical transcription refers to the process of documenting the recorded
audio files of a doctor in a transcribed format. 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. Medical
billers work for hospitals or health care providers and their responsibility is
to ensure that the health care provider is reimbursed for the services provided
to the patients through medical insurance claims.
Clinicalresearch: Clinical research is that part of health care industry which is
responsible for the development of new medicines, devices, diagnostic
procedures and treatment methods. It involves the study of the positive and
negative impacts on human beings which are the outcome of any new product being
developed in the medical field. Clinical research is a profession which
requires specialized skills in the processes of clinical trials and
documentation of these trials.
Clinicaldata management: This profession is related to clinical research and has an
important role in the proper execution of clinical research. In simple terms,
clinical data management is involved in every stage of clinical research like
the collection of data, its management and finally the analysis of the clinical
trials. 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.
After
graduation students can equip themselves with Ikya Global’s certifications in
any of these fields related to medicine and continue to be in the health care
industry and make a difference to the society with their expertise.
