Health Professionals
A health professional is one who provides preventive, curative, promotional or
rehabilitative health care services in a systematic way to individuals, families or communities. A
health professional (also known as a health worker) may be
within medicine, midwifery (obstetrics), dentistry, nursing,pharmacy, or allied health professions.
Health professionals may also be a public/community health professional.
Health care practitioners include physicians, dentists, pharmacists, physician assistants,
nurses (including advanced practice registered nurses), midwives
(obstetrics), dietitians,therapists, psychologists, chiropractors, clinical officers, social
workers, phlebotomists, physical, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, audiologists, speech
pathologists, optometrists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, medical laboratory
scientists, medical prosthetic technicians, radiographers and a wide variety of other human
resources trained to provide some type of health care service. They often work in hospitals, health
care centers, and other service delivery points, but also in academic training, research, and
administration. Some provide care and treatment services for patients in private homes. Many
countries have a large number of community health workers who work outside of formal health care
institutions. Managers of health care services, health information technicians, and other assistive
personnel and support workers are also considered a vital part of health care teams.
Health care practitioners are commonly grouped into five key fields:

3
1. Medical (including generalist practitioners and specialists);
2. Nursing (including various professional titles);
3. Midwifery (Obstetrics)
4. Dentistry;
5. Other Health Professions, including occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical
therapy, paramedicine, respiratory therapy, radiographer and many others health specialists.
Within each field of expertise, practitioners are often classified according to skill level and skill
specialization. “Health professionals” are highly skilled workers, in professions that usually require
extensive knowledge including university-level study leading to the award of a first degree or higher
qualification.[2] This category includes physicians, physician assistants, dentists, midwives (obstetrics),
registered nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, optometrists, and others. Allied health
professionals, also referred to as "health associate professionals" in the International Standard
Classification of Occupations, support implementation of health care, treatment and referral plans
usually established by medical, nursing, and other health professionals, and usually require formal
qualifications to practice their profession. In addition, unlicensed assistive personnel assist with
providing health care services as permitted.
Another way to categorize health care practitioners is according to the sub-field in which they
practice, such as mental health care, pregnancy and childbirth care, surgical care, rehabilitation care,
or public health.
