Acknowledgments
This extensive revision of the fourth edition of Health
Care Job Explosion would have been impossible without the input of the many
health care professionals who willingly shared their insights with us for this
major update. Especially gracious were those providing the interviews that lead
off chapters 4-10: Debra Burton, Stacey Langston, Tamara Theodore, Desiree
Griffith, Sabrina Damp, Doctor Paul Zubritzky, and Lily Chan.
A special thanks must go to Erin McMichael Taylor, Paul J. Krumm, and Michelle
Macie. Ms. Taylor, our senior editor and researcher for this project, and Mr.
Krumm, associate editor, completed an exhaustive search to update this edition’s
resources. Thanks to their diligence and foresight, they have contributed
significantly to this revision. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is quoted
throughout this work including the newly released 2006-07 edition of the
Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH). Without their extensive employment
statistics this book could not have been written. I must also thank Suzan
Hvizdash for contributing the section on medical billing and coding.
Many others contributed to this edition, especially those working in
professional health care associations who took time to share information on
careers and job hunting. Literally hundreds of health care associations and
certification agencies provided information and advice.
Finally, I must thank the millions of dedicated health care workers who provide
competent health care services to all of us. We literally could not survive with
out their dedication and commitment to quality medical services.
