The Allied Health Division encompasses those departments and units which provide supplementary medical services. At Rambam, these include all the units that support the clinical medical system: the Social Work Department, the Physical Therapy Unit, the Clinical Nutrition Unit, the Occupational Therapy Unit and the Psychology Services.
These units assist and support the clinical activities of the physicians and nurses, and provide treatment approaches that are essential for the recovery of patients and their return to society. Some of these units provide services outside of Rambam, including the IDF, the Ministry of Defense and various HMOs.
In addition to the treatments they provide in their fields, the units in the division are also involved in teaching and training within and outside of the hospital. Some conduct clinical research, in collaboration with the medical departments and with biotechnology companies. The results of these studies are presented in national and international conferences.
