Hi Emani, there are many healthcare works who do not handle blood and needles. These include psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, dietitians, nutritionists, physical therapists, chiropractors, radiologists, lab technicians, and pharmacists. In addition, some research assistants, depending on the research they are conducting, also do not handle blood and needles.

Hi Emani! Let me start by saying you are not alone. If you have some tolerance to look at syringes and blood then there are option like associate diagnostic medical sonography, MRI Technologist, Radiation specialist, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Psychiatrist . However if you don't have a high tolerance than may be look for professions in medical field that don't require to work in hospitals or clinics - like Pharmacist, Dietitian/Nutritionist. Having said that for few of these professions as part of the educational curriculum it may involve doing some work with blood and needles. The compensation for the career will also be less than typically what a surgeon, physician, dentist etc would get. You can get more details using this link.

The key is to know what attracts you to the filed of medicine.. the cure, the human body, the ability to help, the compensation etc. As there are few different avenues like health administrators, biotech, genoemics etc as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!
