Becoming a health educator is the top occupation in those seeking an interest in a communication related job. What health educators do is they promote behaviors of wellness and behaviors. Health educators need at least a bachelor’s degree and, depending on the employer, the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). Health educators need to be able to collect data and health concerns with patients. This is why this occupation is part of the communication occupation in general.

What a psychologist mainly does is it studies the patient’s social process, emotion, and behavior and be able to interpret it. This relates to a health educator because they both taking the findings of their patients to help improve the process and behavior. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/community-and-social-service/health-educators.htm
