Allied Health Professions

What is allied health?

The Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions defines allied health as the part of the healthcare sector "that delivers services involving the identification, evaluation, and prevention of diseases and disorders; dietary and nutrition services; and rehabilitation and health systems management."

According to Indeed’s Career Guide, February 3, 2023, "Health care is a rewarding career field with a variety of opportunities, even for those who aren't interested in going to medical or nursing school. Allied health professionals are an integral part of the health care system, and there's a growing demand for them to support medical staff. Understanding what opportunities are available for allied health professionals can help you decide whether it's the right career for you."
