Week highlights Allied Health by Wendi Muehls • proclamation from Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist, County Executive Dave Schulz and representatives from the Gover­ A nor's office last week designated. Sept. 23-29 as Allied Health Professions Week. The event, which is held at UWM, celebrates the role of allied health professions in the medical field. According to Dean Frederick W. Pairent of the UWM School of Allied Health Professions, 60 percent of the work force is made up of allied health professionals, whose numbers do not include nurses, qpctors and dentists. The purpose of celebrating Allied Health Professions Week is to stress the importance of. allied health care and inform the public of these professional roles, Pairent said. "The general public has a good understanding of the function oi the physician, the nurse or the dentist, but when it comes to appreciating the job of the allied health therapist, technologist, or technician in the delivery of health care, they usually demonstrate some degree of uncertainty," Pairent said. Four-year degree programs in the School of Allied Health Professions at UWM include speech pathology, radiology, medical technology and occupational therapy. Also included are therapeutic recreation, medical records administration and health information administration. —Post photo by Shari Mills Panther forward Linda Wardon (15) attempts to get a pass by an Xavier University defender in In honor of Allied Health Professions Week, according to Assistant Sunday's 2-1 loss at Engelmann Field.
