While many jobs in the medical industry offer diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and medical conditions, health education is focused on prevention. As a health educator, your job will be working with other medical professionals to help people achieve better health through healthier lifestyles. You will offer instruction, advice, support, and counsel to both the public and medical professionals alike.

This will give you a greater advantage when the time comes to look for a job.
