PETALING JAYA: While many school leavers are unhappy about not receiving an offer to study medicine at a public university, experts are saying there are other areas in healthcare that offers various rewarding career opportunities.
Not only are these alternative paths facing a significant shortage of professionals, they also offer good earning and learning potential.
According to Prof Nathan, occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Earlier in June, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the admission quota of medical students allowed by the Health Ministry was 4,820 per year, but the actual number of graduates was lower at about 4,000 per year.The estimated production of local medical graduates for the next three years is 3,934 per year, with 2,281 from public and 1,653 from private higher educational institutions.
The satisfaction in this profession, he said, comes from having rehabilitated somebody “back onto their feet and into the community”. Universiti Malaya Biomedical Imaging Department Emeritus Prof Dr Ng Kwan Hoong said the need for more professionals is on the rise in other healthcare sectors.“It is important to highlight to school leavers that there are opportunities to pursue other areas of healthcare besides medicine,” he said.
