Health / Medicine
Professions in the medical field cover medicine, pharmacy, nursing, physiotherapy and other fields that are closely related to human health. However, these professions differ significantly in terms of study content, programme duration and career prospects. Due to the specialised and challenging nature of the medical field, different sub-specialisations correspond to different career paths, and inter-specialisation is relatively difficult.
