Rodolfo’s Answer

Basic anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, neuroscience will be your foundation. People skills, communication, bedside manners will define your career. Healthcare will always be in demand but you need to have the right reasons and motivation to get into this career pathway otherwise your patients will only receive medical interventions and not real personal care.
