Seven In-Demand Healthcare Jobs That Require No Prior TrainingBy Mike Smith, Monster Contributing Writer

Although many employers do look for prior experience or certificates, some entry-level healthcare positions require none at all. In fact, they can be learned through on-the-job training.

Better yet, the health sector is one of the best places to get your foot in the door with one job before moving up a very diverse career ladder that offers the promise of long-term job security.

That’s especially true with allied-health support positions. The workers in these 50 or so professions support doctors and nurses in many ways, including taking X-rays, drawing blood, assisting with physical therapy and analyzing lab specimens.

Here are seven healthcare jobs that often require no training to get hired and that are projected to be in high demand in coming years:
