Healthcare support roles and their duties vary wildly, from administrative support to at-home care roles to therapy and beyond. Healthcare support generally refers to positions in-home care or secondary and tertiary levels of healthcare.
Popular roles in healthcare support include home caregivers, billing support administrators, medical aides and phlebotomists.
Healthcare support roles differ from those in primary healthcare in that they are not as specialized or geared toward life-saving situations and, therefore, don’t require extensive higher education.
