Can I work in the field of Medicine?

Question

When I have a AS degree in Pure Mathematics.

Answer 1

Most medical and allied health jobs require some specific certification. These are easy to obtain if you undergo some more education or training.

An associates degree in math really isn't worth much. It just isn't. Math is one of those subjects that requires a higher level of academic qualification. You can't teach with an AS.

So go back to school and get a certification or degree in something more practical like nursing (CNA, LVN, RN, etc), dental hygiene, or medical assistance. These are short courses, and they pay back quite well.

Otherwise, the only way you could get a health care job with an AS in math is if you know enough computer stuff to be in IT, or you can work front office.

btw, you can VOLUNTEER in a clinic first to get experience so you can have more access to health care jobs.

Answer 2

depends what you want to do. If you want to work as a doctor then definitely no.
If you want to do medical research, sure, you just have to find a lab which requires somebody with mathematical skill to help their research, e.g. for mathematical models, though I don't know is an AS is sufficient for that. Also I think for a lot of brain imaging a lot of math but also computer programming skill are in demand.
If you want to go in such a field, you should eventually take additional classes to better understand what people want you to do (and if you work for a university, you usually can take a certain number of classes for free or very cheap as parts of the benefits).

Answer 3

lol so now we know what you mean, but I think the answer would still be no, unless you are willing to go back to school to get some sort of university education, depending on which area in medicine you would like to work, such as drug design or being a physician, or a laboratory technician.
