Average Salary: $20,000-$40,000

Education:

Students who would like to become a patient representative should take challenging high school courses in business, science, math, and English. Requirements are different and depend on the employer, but most prefer college graduates with backgrounds in health or social services. Experience or course work in conflict resolution is also valued.

I don’t think I would like to become a patient representative because it sound boring for me and it doesn’t interest me at all.
