Licensing overview in 2014, when it is fully implemented, the federal Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act is expected to bring a huge part of
California’s 8 2 million uninsured people into the state’s healthcare
delivery system
Who will take care of them?
experts predict California’s healthcare workforce will have to
increase by 25 percent to meet the need That means more
doctors, but more of other healthcare professionals, too The need
for additional workers will represent a wealth of job opportunities
for Californians opportunities will exist for positions requiring
advanced degrees (doctors, dentists, and optometrists),
community college degrees (such as respiratory care practitioners),
or just high school diplomas (such as pharmacy technicians or
dental assistants)
Healthcare workers who represent cultural and ethnic groups will
be especially needed because many of the newly insured are likely
to be in traditionally underserved groups, including residents of
rural communities
if you’re interested in a career in a healthcare field, you need
to know what it takes This booklet highlights the 32 types of
healing arts professionals, from doctors and nurses to hearing aid
dispensers, psychologists, and more licensed by the California
Department of Consumer Affairs Web sites for each are included
with the description Tables at the back of the booklet list education
and licensing requirements for each
All healthcare professionals licensed by the California Department
of Consumer Affairs must meet minimum standards for education,
training, and experience in addition, they must pass appropriate
professional exams and criminal background checks in all,
more than 900,000 healthcare professionals are licensed by the
Department—with more to come!

explore, identify, or prepare for a career in healthcare from
local postings, to training programs, to advice on how to
find financial aid, Health Jobs Start Here will introduce you
to good healthcare jobs in California and help you figure out
which ones could be the right fit for you The Web site is

medical assisting) An online quiz helps identify your interests and
starts with the basics: How do you feel about blood and needles?

life” stories to hear what health workers find rewarding
