Why Dialysis is among the Fastest-Growing Careers
Dialysis is one of today's most rewarding healthcare careers, due largely to high demand for nurses and clinicians with the skills to deliver it.
Why is demand surging for dialysis professionals? Among other factors, renal health — the field of medicine concerned with kidney disease — has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past decades. That means kidney disease is diagnosed more often, and treated more often, too.
And thanks to rapid advancements in hemodialysis technology, it's also treated in more places than ever — not just hospitals, as in the past. Today, all types of kidney conditions are treated in settings like acute care centers and outpatient clinics, including chronic care management, emergency kidney failure, preventive care, and more.

Why is demand for dialysis professionals so high in Virginia? For starters, it has one of the country’s best healthcare systems, recently ranking #5 for hospital quality and #2 for hospital safety. And keeping up this level of quality means facilities must stay fully staffed with highly skilled professionals.
In addition, Virginia has been ranked #3 for lowest healthcare insurance premiums, so more residents have access to care than in other places. And this drives utilization, meaning many facilities are busier in Virginia than other states.
