Why you should join Houston Institute of Global Health

At Houston Institute of Global Health, we know healthcare is more than a job—it’s a calling with real impact and real rewards. Many healthcare roles offer competitive salaries, with careers like phlebotomy, medical assisting, and medical billing & coding starting at $35,000–$55,000+ annually, and opportunities to grow with experience and certification.

Despite growing demand, less than 12% of the U.S. workforce is in healthcare, creating urgent need for skilled professionals. This shortage means high job security, rapid hiring, and flexibility in work settings.

Join Houston Institute of Global Health to gain the skills, training, and support to step into one of the most in-demand, rewarding careers today—and make a difference where it truly matters.
