Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the General Alternative & Complementary Medicine & Medical Systems field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. General Alternative & Complementary Medicine & Medical Systems majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that General Alternative & Complementary Medicine & Medical Systems majors need more than the average amount of Science, Operations Analysis, Service Orientation, Technology Design, Social Perceptiveness, Instructing, Learning Strategies, Active Listening, Complex Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Speaking, Programming, Judgment and Decision Making, Reading Comprehension, Persuasion, Active Learning, Writing, Systems Evaluation, Systems Analysis, Time Management, Monitoring, Coordination, Mathematics, Operation Monitoring, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Equipment Selection, Operation and Control, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairing.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for General Alternative & Complementary Medicine & Medical Systems majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Science is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Science, Active Listening, Speaking, Social Perceptiveness, Service Orientation, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Writing, Active Learning, Instructing, Learning Strategies, Monitoring, Time Management, Coordination, Persuasion, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Operations Analysis, Mathematics, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Operation Monitoring, Technology Design, Programming, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Operation and Control, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
