Patient Representative

Duties and Responsibilities:

A patient representative represents a patient when they have concerns in special needs. They investigate complaints; they collect their dissatisfaction and try to resolve the patients problems. Patient representatives work in hospitals, nursing homes, in public agencies and other long term health faculties.

Salary: $20,000-$40,000

Education:

Students should take challenging high school courses in business, science, math, and English. You should be a college graduate with a health or social services background.  

Reflection:

I wouldn’t e interested in this career due to its very minimal education and really doesn’t revolve around the actual caring for patients and well it’s more of resolving someone’s problems and having no action in the actual medical field.
