Medical care is also the focus of YC's field, in the September RFS list, the top ten areas of the field is related to four, respectively, biotechnology (biotech), pharmaceuticals (pharmaceuticals), Refers to health care (Healthcare) and food and drinking water (Food & labeled).

In the new issue of RFS documentation, YC has always clarified that the focus areas listed in RFS will not have a decisive impact on the final outcome of the recruitment of new recruits.
