Choosing a new career, the next chapter in your life, is never easy. So many questions, and difficulty finding answers….

Until now. If health or patient advocacy or navigation has been on your radar, you’ll find this book to be a handy resource with answers to your questions, including a few you probably didn’t even know to ask.

Think you want to work for a hospital, or a large doctors’ practice?  Or is private, self-employed, own-your-own business advocacy your goal? No matter what form of advocacy you think you might want to choose, get started with your decision-making here.

Patient advocates, health advocates, navigators, representatives, ombudsmen, care coordinators, care managers… the many names for advocates highlight their importance, yet cause some confusion at the same time.

If the concept of helping people weather the healthcare system is of interest to you, then this is the book to help you sort out what you need to know, then how to approach your own decision-making.

So You Want to Be a Patient Advocate?  Choosing a Career in Health or Patient Advocacy is the first in the Health Advocacy Careers Series. The others in the series support the business of advocacy.
