What are some Associate Degrees in the medical field that can be pursued?

My name is Faith. I want to go to University of Southern Florida or Hillsborough Community College in Florida. I have been working with kids and special needs kids since I was in 5th grade. I adore my church and am willing to go the extra mile. I have been thinking about my profession a lot, and everytime I go back to something medical. I want to have a family and get married young, so I only want to be in actual college for 2 years. I am 16 and have the schedule of an adult if not busier.

There are many exciting associate degrees you can pursue in the medical field. One option is nursing. It might take a bit longer than two years because you need to complete some prerequisites first, but it's worth it. Another great choice is becoming a medical assistant, which lets you work in clinics and doctors' offices. There are also other options like dental hygiene, respiratory therapy, radiologic technology, surgical technology, physical or occupational therapy assistant, and pharmacy technology. Each of these paths offers rewarding opportunities to help others and build a fulfilling career.
