Allied health is a category of healthcare workers who support, diagnose, and treat patients.
Allied health professionals can work in many different areas of healthcare, such as rehabilitation, nutrition, systems management, and diagnosing/preventing diseases. Depending on the field of work they can work collaboratively with other healthcare providers or independently and one-on-one with patients.
