Working in correctional health can be an enriching and fulfilling experience. As a correctional health professional, you’ll get to provide care for an underserved population that truly needs care, and you’ll also have a unique opportunity to gain invaluable clinical knowledge and experience treating a wide range of medical and mental health conditions.
Correctional healthcare affords the opportunity to work in a unique setting where we serve patients with many different needs. The work of a correctional healthcare professional is both challenging and rewarding at the same time, as we provide a wide range of health services to patients who are in dire need of care.
Every day the impact of our work is palpable as we see how our interventions help restore and enhance our patients’ health. As correctional professionals, we work to promote physical and behavioral health, we address some of the most challenging health issues effectively and protect public safety.
