Clinical Researcher
Clinical research is the study of the diseases and illnesses in the human body and how they affect the general population. Clinical research is at the epicenter of understanding what is happening in medicine. The research conducted and the facts that are discovered are helping doctors and nurses treat and heal patients every day.
To become a clinical researcher, you are going to want to know a lot about medicine. You will be required to have a four-year degree in medicine and/or biology, and many students go on to the master and doctorate level. You will also have to work in a laboratory. Researchers like Dr Hanid Audish is an example of how becoming a clinical researcher can lead to great success in the medical field.
Prosthetics Technician
Not all medical careers require that you know about medicine. In the realm of prosthetics, a prosthetics technician is like an artist for health.

Another career where art and medicine come together, medical illustrators work with medical schools, clinics, and hospitals to take important medical information and translate it into images so patients and other people associated with medicine can easily understand and digest information.
This is a great career for someone who wants to work from home. Not only do medical illustrators make almost $100,000 per year, but they work mostly remotely where they can make their own hours and work when it’s convenient for them.
