Content: Obtain your certification: Consider becoming a board-certified patient advocate. While not required, becoming certified as a patient advocate can lead to better opportunities and jobs, as it would tell employers you have the skills and knowledge to understand the increasingly complex and highly specialized healthcare system. Certification proves your credentials to employers and patients and family caregivers. Obtain relevant experience. Many employers prefer at least a minimum of experience in a clinical environment. If you don’t have a background in the healthcare industry, consider searching for internship opportunities where you can obtain the base experience to apply for a full-time position. You can also obtain experience by entering training program programs where placement in a hospital or clinic for on-the-job shadowing is part of the curriculum. Update your resume. Update your resume with your highest level of education, relevant work experience and skills that apply to the role.
