What are Allied Health Science Courses?

Allied health professionals are clinical health care professionals distinct from the Medical, Dental and Nursing. As the name implies, they are ‘allies’ in a health care Team, working alongside doctors (physicians, surgeons, cardiologists, and nephrologists, Radiologist, Respiralogist, Microbiologist, Pathologist, Biochemist) and nurses, to deliver high quality patient care services.

The B.Sc. courses in Allied Health Sciences provide knowledge and skills to candidates which will enable them to perform their duties as ‘Medical Technicians'. These courses provide a sound theoretical foundation in basic health sciences as well as hands-on training in the respective skill area.

At this opportune juncture, Velammal College of Allied Health Sciences offers quality training courses in allied health sciences for eligible and enthusiastic candidates.
