Many health services are provided by Allied Health Professionals filling non-nurse and non-physician-based roles. Career benefits include the diversity of roles that are available to you within the profession. Depending on the role, your work environment may not be limited to healthcare facilities. You can also select a career path with direct patient contact or indirect care roles.
