HEALTH
Allied health professions are distinct from nursing, medicine, and pharmacy. They make up 60 percent of the total US health workforce. Some allied health care providers work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, dentists and pharmacists. They may play roles in evaluating and assessing a patient’s needs, keeping the physician and others informed of the patient’s progress and caring for the patient. Others work independently as specialists in exercise, nutrition, health education, speech and daily function.
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and
advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing., Masters of Science in Nursing, and Doctorate of Nursing Practice are available at 20 Cal State Universities and at UCLA, UCI, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis.
