Other (Allied and Alternative healthcare professionals)
Allied healthcare professionals are clinical healthcare professionals, who have been educated in a certain area of medicine, completed clinical training, and then are either registered, certified, or licensed in their field. Allied healthcare professionals are not doctors, nurses, or dentists, but instead are the experts and team members who work alongside or under their supervision. Their jobs, in general, fall into one of these categories: technician, therapist or technologist. Common allied healthcare job titles include physical therapist, medical assistant and dental hygienist.
