Are you curious about exploring a career in healthcare but unsure where to begin? Michigan Health Council (MHC) has just launched a comprehensive suite of tools designed to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re just getting started or charting your next move, these new resources make it easier than ever to map a meaningful, real-world path in healthcare.
What’s Available
MHC’s Career Exploration page now features several interconnected tools and resources:
Job Shadowing Opportunities Map
Observing professionals in action allows you to see what daily life is like in various healthcare roles. Shadowing gives you firsthand insight into different careers, helping you understand what you might enjoy and how to prepare for it. View our map to find opportunities near you.
Career Pathway Tool
This interactive feature lets you explore how different roles connect, what steps are needed to advance or shift within the healthcare field, and, based on actual occupational data, what transitions may make sense for you.
Healthcare Occupation Pages
Get detailed snapshots of many healthcare jobs, including responsibilities, typical wages, required training or education, job titles, and more. These pages help you compare roles and plan the best path.
Healthcare Career Guides
A detailed resource for professionals to support students exploring careers in psychology, social work, and counseling. These guides include specialized advice, resources, and steps to help you thrive in these growing areas.
Why It Matters
Healthcare is one of the fastest-changing sectors, offering many fulfilling careers, but the pathway into different roles can feel confusing or overwhelming. MHC’s resources help demystify this process by:
Providing clear, data-backed information about what each role involves and how to get there.
Connecting you to hands-on learning (ie. job shadowing) so you can test drive roles before making big commitments.
Offering up-to-date resources that reflect growth areas like behavioral health.
Who Should Check It Out
These tools are ideal for:
High school or college students considering healthcare careers.
Career-changers looking to transition into or advance in health care
Educators, counselors, or workforce developers guiding others in career planning.
Anyone curious about the many roles in healthcare beyond what they’ve commonly heard about.
