This article is from the San Francisco Chronicle

No matter which direction the economy heads this year, health care will continue to be one of the nation's top success stories. In a U.S. News and World Report story titled "What's in Store for Jobs in 2012?" the article states "healthcare employment will continue to grow in 2012, possibly even more rapidly than it did in 2011, as the population continues to age and require more medical attention."

With health care being such an in-demand occupation, San Diego State University's College of Extended Studies offers both in-class and online professional health care certificate and certification programs for individuals to prepare for these lucrative careers.

This article is from Market Watch The Wall Street Journal

Anchored by a 498-bed University Hospital, University Health System is a nationally recognized academic medical center that partners with UT. University Health System, which since 2003 has used Allscripts Sunrise Enterprise(TM) acute care Electronic Health Record and Sunrise Ambulatory(TM) EHR in the hospital and for its nearly 700 employed physicians at 24 locations, desired a way to enhance the transitions of care between each of its facilities as well as between its facilities and UT.

"Extending our Allscripts solution will enable us to provide continuity of care for our patients, many whom use both facilities," said Bill Phillips, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at University Health System. "We believe one integrated patient record will save time for providers and patients, as well as reduce duplicate tests."

An estimated 6.1 million colleges take online courses, according to a report by the Babson Survey Research Center. The flexibility of online school has allowed working individuals to rise ahead, procuring a better position at a current company or even transitioning into a better working environment. Online education has really changed the game for military families and single parents as well. For these students, taking courses over the Internet really saves time and even money.

News: ESL education is an asset to immigrants

Not only is English considered the international language, but knowing how to speak, write and understand it is an essential in English speaking countries. Tovin Lapan of the Las Vegas Sun recently wrote an article about immigrants in the U.S.A. who are seeking to improve their English skills for a very competitive job market. Often, employers in English speaking countries will turn away qualified applicants for jobs if they cannot speak English. You can read more about this here:

Adam Melchor did not have trouble finding work in construction when he first arrived in Las Vegas in 2005.

The 43-year-old Mexican immigrant, who was sponsored by relatives here, found abundant opportunities in the construction industry even though he could not speak a word of English.

“For the first couple of years it was easy to find work,” he said in Spanish. “Now, there is nothing.”
