Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Alternative & Complementary Medicine field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Alternative & Complementary Medicine majors need many skills, but most especially Active Listening. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Alternative & Complementary Medicine majors need more than the average amount of Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Equipment Selection, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Judgment and Decision Making, Speaking, Monitoring, Systems Evaluation, Science, Systems Analysis, Reading Comprehension, Learning Strategies, Active Learning, Instructing, Writing, Coordination, Time Management, Quality Control Analysis, Complex Problem Solving, Persuasion, Operation Monitoring, Negotiation, Troubleshooting, Operation and Control, Management of Personnel Resources, Technology Design, Mathematics, Management of Material Resources, Operations Analysis, Management of Financial Resources, Programming, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, 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 Alternative & Complementary Medicine 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 Service Orientation is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Social Perceptiveness, Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Service Orientation, Judgment and Decision Making, Monitoring, Writing, Active Learning, Complex Problem Solving, Coordination, Time Management, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Instructing, Learning Strategies, Persuasion, Science, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Mathematics, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Operation and Control, Management of Financial Resources, Troubleshooting, Equipment Selection, Technology Design, Programming, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
