 | | Schools of allied health sciences are affiliated with the University of Texas Health Science centers in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, with the Texas Tech University Health Science Center, with Baylor College of Medicine, and with the United States Army Academy of the Health Sciences at Fort Sam Houston. |
 | | With more emphasis on primary health care in the future, the demand for allied health professionals will be robust because they work in many settings-hospitals, health maintenance organizations, community clinics, school systems, and long-term care facilities. |
 | | In 1994 the state regulated fourteen allied health occupations through licensing, certification, or registration: audiologists, dental hygienists, dental laboratory technologists, dietitians, emergency care attendants, emergency care technicians, massage therapists, nursing-home administrators, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, physical therapy assistants, speech and language pathologists, radiologic technologists, and respiratory therapists. |
