The Council's ongoing purposes are to:
- Ensure that North Carolinians will have access to a well-prepared, well-distributed allied health workforce that is representative of the diversity of our state's communities.
- Foster strategies to promote the allied health professions as sound occupational pathways for North Carolina's students and career changers.
- Monitor trends in the demand, supply and distribution of allied health personnel through regular statewide surveys.
- Inform the General Assembly through the UNC Board of Governors of imbalances in the supply and distribution of allied health personnel that adversely affect access to cost-effective, appropriate and effective healthcare.
- Make recommendations to decision-makers of the community about changes in allied health care service needs.
- Monitor and respond to state and federal initiatives and actions as they affect the delivery of allied health care services and policies.
