Additionally, areas of allied health care are generally large and specialised areas which are require specific training and/or certification. Moreover, some professions may be arguably be considered AHPs simply on the basis of their smaller size proportional size to other professions such as

Other allied health professions require no special training or credentials and are trained for their work by their employer through on-the-job training (which would then exclude them from consideration as an allied health profession in a country like Australia). Many allied health jobs are considered

Projections in the United States and many other countries have shown an expected long-term shortage of qualified workers to fill many allied health positions. This is primarily due to expansion of the health industry due to demographic changes (a growing and aging population), large numbers of health

increased the number of groups dedicated to allied health professions. Depending on the presumed skill level, they may either be identified as "health professionals" or "health associate professionals".

In the United

In the US, a larger proportion of the allied health care workforce is already employed in ambulatory settings. In
California, nearly half (49.4 percent) of the allied health workforce is employed in ambulatory health care settings, compared with 28.7 percent and 21.9 percent employed in hospital and

AHPs are generally considered distinct from other healthcare service providers on the basis of several factors. These factors may include AHPs offering services that support the treatment of service users in ways which support treatments provided by other health care professionals, or by providing

Generally, AHPs provide health and care services which are distinct fields of study from non-AHP health care professions. There will generally be a large demand for professionals in their respective fields and these professions will usually require specialised training, higher level education and

Advancements in medical technology also allow for more services that formerly required expensive hospital stays to be delivered via ambulatory care. For example, in
California, research has predicted the total consumption of hospital days per person will decline from 4 days in 2010 to 3.2 days in

Allied Health
Professions are a distinct group of health professionals who apply their expertise to prevent disease transmission, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate people of all ages and all specialties. Together with a range of technical and support staff they may deliver direct patient care,

Changes in the health industry and emphasis on cost-efficient solutions to health care delivery will continue to encourage expansion of the allied health workforce. The World Health
Organization estimates there is currently a worldwide shortage of about 2 million allied health professionals

With this growing demand for ambulatory health care, researchers expect to witness a heavier demand for professions that are employed within the ambulatory sector and other non-hospital settings—in other words, allied health.

Some allied health professions are more specialized, and so must adhere to national training and education standards and their professional scope of practice. Often they must prove their skills through degrees,
