Howard Chusid
My training started as a radiologic technologist or an x-ray technician, as it was called then. While attending college for my BA, I also became an EMT, so I could pay the bills. I graduated with my BA in physiology and biological physics, and then earned an MS degree in health education. I taught radiologic technology at a local community college and then moved on to working with physicians and hospitals, doing physician billing. Thereafter, realizing that I had a hard time working for people because of my ADD, I started putting together internal/family practices and hired physicians to staff the offices. Since managed health care appeared to be taking over the industry, I worked with the plans and decided to venture out on my own. Along with a few partners, I started our own plan in South Florida. We were successful in providing great health care. After a while, I decided to go back to school so that I could do it professionally. So, I started a doctoral program at age 53 and graduated at age 57 with a doctorate in counseling psychology. I really enjoyed what I was doing professionally and decided to teach it. I started teaching courses in psychology for Kaplan University (now called Purdue Global University). While at Kaplan, I decided to get another certificate, this time in human resources, as it is something which I had been doing voluntarily for twenty years, at a school for students with learning differences.
