Welcome to Indian Institute of Allied Health Sciences

Introduction

Not so long ago most of the medical and health care professionals were doctors, dentists and nurses. Very few other kinds of personnel in this field existed because very few were needed. But now other categories abound. Many new categories came into existence because of technological advances. As biomedical knowledge expanded and skills became sophisticated enough to be applied to practical problems, a division of labour took place. New specialized professions emerged specifically to meet newly created needs. In other words, once a type of equipment or a technique was devised and found to be useful, some one was needed to use them safely and correctly.
This gave rise to two categories of medical and health care professionals to deal with Rehabilitation Medicine and Therapy, and Medical Technology. Training programmes in these areas came to be known as paramedical education and the profession as paramedics. However, the subjects are now labelled as Allied Health Sciences. A small number of medical colleges, in addition MBBS course, were the first to introduce programmes in several areas of allied health sciences, e.g., Christian Medical College, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Education and Research. It is only during the last two decades or so that a large number of specialized institutions in different areas have been established.
