The Healthcare Job Market Of The Future

By J.D Theis

The healthcare job market is witnessing a boom of sorts. There are a lot of new players entering the healthcare industry. And this is at a time when the mortality rate is going down. The average life span of human beings around the planet is increasing by the day.

Modern medicine can be traced back to the times of Hippocrates, the Greek physician who paved the way for the allopathic system of medicine. There are several allied streams of medicine like ayurvedic, homeopathic and unani which are recognized as real medicine. However they are practiced in only a few parts of the world.

So, where are we in terms of healthcare and where are we headed to?

Healthcare is no longer going to be just about prescribing medicine or conducting surgery. That is what is happening at the present. In our country and much of the developed world, we do have labs which conduct tests on each and every sample that is taken from a patient. However, much of the developing world does not have access to this.

The ancillary healthcare jobs are the ones which will drive the health care industry of the future. Solving the DNA code is the key to discovering the cause of each and every disease that affects the human body.

So what are the steps being taken to solve the DNA code?

Genetic engineers around the planet are devising new means of deciphering the DNA of humans. In fact the DNA sequences of many lesser organisms like lab rats have already been deciphered. Computer engineers are also being employed to run complex algorithms to find out what exactly is the pattern in the human DNA chain. There are databases being created to store the vast array of information that is being produced about the human DNA. Maybe one day we will be able to find out how healthy a child is right when it is born. Mechanisms can be devised to reengineer the DNA sequence in order to produce better human beings.

This science is known as eugenics. It is a hope to create a race of human beings who are so advanced that they can never fall sick. These super humans will also have special powers based on requirements. Super soldiers of the future will have muscles which will never tire and lungs that can hold oxygen for maybe an entire hour. This is very much possible given that the animal kingdom already has organisms which display such traits.

The possibilities are limitless and the challenges are diverse. But it will take time and a lot of effort, but it will happen. - 23211
