Industry Medicine

The math works something like this: if Obamacare materializes, and it appears that it will, most households making under $30k per year will be entitled to free health care. Hospitals and clinics will have a vastly increased need for security, because a lot of households don't make $30k and don't have health care. As people start to see health care as right instead of a privilege, I suspect the average patient's behavior at the doctor's office isn't going to improve either. I suspect that these factors will grow demand and wages in security generally, promoting professionalism in the industry.

Here's the low-down in the Health Care Security-specific certification. The organization is called the IAHSS (International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety.) Their top level certification is called the CHPA (Certified Healthcare Protection Administrator.) They have 3 lesser certifications for Basic, Advanced, and Supervisor levels, which sound ideal for someone trying to get into the Health Care segment of the security industry.
