Pursuing a career in healthcare support and assistance has grown increasingly popular in the United States over the last couple of decades. For instance, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u2019 (BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), the employment outlook for medical assistants is projected to grow by 16% \u2014 which is much faster than average \u2014 over the 10 years from 2021 to 2031. The trend for dental assistants, while not as fast, is still one of faster-than-average growth, with employment projected to increase by 8% from 2021 to 2031.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s less well known, however, is which types of healthcare support jobs earn the most money. In order to identify the highest paying healthcare assistant jobs, we analyzed data from the BLS\u2019s Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), and zeroed in on occupations that fall into the category denoted as \u201cHealthcare Support Occupations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read on to find out the highest paying healthcare support and assistance jobs in 2023.<\/p>\n

10 Highest Paying Healthcare Assistant and Support Jobs in 2023<\/h2>\n

Looking at the highest paying healthcare assistant jobs of 2023, only two jobs have average annual salaries in excess of the average for all occupations, $61,900 per year. The other 15 healthcare support jobs tracked by the BLS have average annual salaries of less than $58,000. What\u2019s interesting, though, is which healthcare support jobs experienced the most robust growth in wages over the last three years. For example, the highest paying healthcare support job \u2014 Occupational Therapy Assistants \u2014 saw its mean annual wage grow by only 7.1% from 2019 to 2022, one of the lowest rates of growth in our study. On the other hand, the healthcare assistance job that experienced the largest growth was Occupational Therapy Aides, with its average annual wage increasing by an impressive 25.6% over the same period.<\/p>\n
