Health
Educator
Duties
and Responsibilities: Health
Educators teach people about behaviors that promote wellness. They develop and
implement strategies to improve the health of individuals and communities.
Community health workers collect data and discuss health concerns with members
of specific populations or communities.
Salary:
$41,830 (per year)
$20.11 (per hour)
Education:
Health educators need a
bachelor’s degree. Many employers require the Certified Health Education
Specialist (CHES) credential. Requirements for community health workers vary,
although they typically have at least a high school diploma and must complete a
brief period of on-the-job training. Some states have certification programs
for community health workers.
Reflection:
I probably would like to
become a Health Educator because it seems like a nice job to have. Another reason
is because they get paid well and I would like to be able to teach people about
behaviors that promote wellness.
