Health and Medical Career Classes through FCPS ACE

Healthcare careers offer exceptional job security, high earning potential, and diverse opportunities, with employment projected to grow much faster than average (13% from 2021-2031) due to an aging population and increased chronic conditions. More than 1.9 million annual job openings are expected through 2034, spanning roles from high-paying practitioners ($83,090 median) to support staff ($37,180 median). 

A career in the healthcare field can give you job security due to the constant need for care. These careers are generally resistant to economic downturns, and can't be replaced by artificial intelligence. You can find flexible schedules, including remote, part-time, and shift work, to meet your life demands. Most importantly, a healthcare career is fulfilling, as you make a direct, positive, and personal impact on patients' lives. 

Explore the many options, classes, and certifications available in the Health and Medical fields through FCPS ACE.

Career Exploration

The medical field is always hiring new professionals and rewards new skills with new promotions and opportunities. ACE's career exploration classes are a great way to "test the waters" to see if this is the right pathway for you.


Success in the medical field relies on knowing how to communicate successfully with both patients and the healthcare team. ACE’s “Medical Terminology” classes will prepare you for the jargon, and classes like Medical Billing and Coding give you technical skills training for in-demand jobs. If you are looking to add bilingual skill to your resume, consider “Spanish for Medical Professionals” – bilingual healthcare workers often command a 5-20% salary increase.
