Council for Allied Health in NC – The Council's ongoing purposes are to:

  • Ensure that North Carolinians will have access to a well-prepared, well-distributed allied health workforce that is representative of the diversity of our state's communities.
  • Foster strategies to promote the allied health professions as sound occupational pathways for North Carolina's students and career changers.
  • Monitor trends in the demand, supply, and distribution of allied health personnel through regular statewide surveys.
  • Inform the General Assembly through the UNC Board of Governors of imbalances in the supply and distribution of allied health personnel that adversely affect access to cost-effective, appropriate, and effective healthcare.
  • Make recommendations to decision-makers of the community about changes in allied health care service needs.
  • Monitor and respond to state and federal initiatives and actions as they affect the delivery of allied health care services and policies.
