Japanese: パラメディカル(英語表記)paramedical
Paramedical (English spelling)
Originally it was an adjective meaning "to help a doctor," but it is often used to mean paramedical staff, referring to medical professionals other than doctors and dentists. Recently, the word "comedical" has also come to be used more and more, emphasizing the word "cooperation." Paramedical refers to people who work in clinics and hospitals, excluding doctors and dentists, and is mainly made up of occupations that require a license through national or prefectural exams, such as nurses, pharmacists, diagnostic radiologists, clinical laboratory technicians, physical therapists, dental technicians, and dental hygienists.
