Who are the medical and allied health professionals?

Allied health professionals are healthcare practitioners with formal education and clinical
training credentials through certification, registration and/or licensure. They collaborate with
physicians and other members of the healthcare team to deliver high quality patient care
services for the identification, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disabilities, and disorders.
These professions may be categorized into either technicians or Therapists/Technologists.

to work under the supervision of technologists or therapists. This category includes physical
therapy assistants, medical laboratory technicians, radiological technicians, occupational
therapy assistants, recreation therapy assistants and respiratory therapy technicians.
Therapists or technologists have more intensive training, which includes acquiring
procedural skills. They evaluate patients, diagnose conditions, develop treatment plans, and
understand the rationale behind various treatments to judge their appropriateness and potential
side effects. They also assess patients’ responses to therapy and make appropriate decisions
about continued treatment or modification of treatment plans. Furthermore, they are licensed to
perform these tasks.

Allied health professionals provide services and engage in activities which include:
a. prevention - keep illness or injury from happening
b. assessment/evaluation-appraisal of the condition based on the patient’s subjective
report

d. treatment - management and care of a patient or the combating of disease or
disorder
e. rehabilitation/habilitation - treatment designed to recover from injury, illness, or
disease towards a normal condition as possible
f. advocacy - a method by which patients, their families, attorneys, health professionals,
and citizens’ groups can work together to develop programs that ensure the availability
of high-quality healthcare for a community.
g. promotion of health and well-being - the process of enabling people to increase
control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improving their health h.
