Allied Health
Faculty placement for university students
The term ‘Allied Health’ is relatively new in Cambodia and professionals in the field make up a tiny proportion of the health workforce – there’s simply not enough specialised rehabilitation centers. Due to this lack of understanding of allied health, participants would need to clearly explain their treatments to the patient before service delivery.
Allied Health includes practices in physiotherapy, exercise science, occupational therapy, speech pathology, dietitian and psychology. This program collaborates with local rehabilitation facilities run by the government, as well as non-government organisations (NGO) to provide skills exchange that ensures better healthcare services to our communities.

Community impact
Working alongside local experts is the best way to understand more about the Cambodian health system. It gives everyone involved the opportunity to share different ideas in terms of treatment, health education and exposes Cambodian health workers to a western system. This also allows patients extra time to engage with visiting university students and better understand their treatment while the local team focuses on the treatment plan. Research and collecting resources are always a huge extra benefit for the centers and their communities.
