[quote=Anonymous]OP — There are so many aspects  to health care now and different kind of providers.  It might help your DD if she got some specific information on kinds of jobs and the education required.  She could consider an introduction to the field by taking some of the premed courses she would need at a local college or looking at a health care program at your local community college in nursing, a therapist position such as respiratory, x-ray technician, or a PT assistant  for example.  She could explore the route to becoming a physician assistant in a field of interest without all the hard, intense years of med school.  If she needs to finish her undergrad program, then she should make time to volunteer in a Free Clinic or train as an EMT ato see if the medical field in operation is really for her.
As the parent of a high anxiety daughter, the key is always going to be to have the right healthcare team in place to support her mental health.  From her age, she has two more years on your health care policy, so it will be important to consider how sh can maintain access to good health care.  Our daughter has a good job, is married and has children; but she recognizes to keep a life balance there are things she needs to do to manage stress or it can be bumpy.  So I would just encourage her to share her ideas on a career and talk about how she might set up a realistic approach on working towards her goal with her doctors. A community college may offer her the most flexible option to start out rather than jumping into a full load at a university.[/quote]
