This unit group includes health professionals who diagnose and treat the diseases and injuries of patients and who are not elsewhere classified. This includes doctors of podiatric medicine, chiropodists and podiatrists, naturopaths, orthoptists and osteopaths. They work in private practices, clinics and hospitals.
治療師兼足科醫生稱號在一些省份交替使用，雖然足科醫生稱號變得越來越普遍。足科醫生稱號並不一定是指足病醫學醫生（DPM）。
Chiropodist and podiatrist titles are used interchangeably in some provinces, although the title podiatrist is becoming more common. The use of the podiatrist job title does not necessarily refer to doctors of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.).
視覺矯正師往往作為眼科醫生，眼科大夫和其他眼科醫務人員的醫療團隊的一部分參與工作。
Orthoptists often work as part of a medical team which includes ophthalmologists, opticians and other ophthalmic medical personnel.
視覺矯正師經過培訓，也可以作為眼科技術人員或技術專家工作。
Orthoptists may also be trained as ophthalmic technicians or technologists.
整骨可能獲得全科醫生執照。
Osteopaths may obtain a licence as general practitioners.
整骨在新不倫瑞克省，魁北克省和阿爾伯塔省有充分的執業範圍，在安大略省和薩斯喀徹溫省，執業範圍有限（練習整骨徒手醫學）。
Osteopaths have full scope of practice in New Brunswick, Quebec and Alberta, and limited scope of practice (to practise osteopathic manipulative medicine) in Ontario and Saskatchewan.
在不列顛哥倫比亞省有兩個整骨執照：一個允許整骨骨病醫生全範圍的執業權利，而另一個限制在骨科徒手醫學實踐發麵。
There are two licences in British Columbia for osteopaths – one allows the doctor of osteopathy full scope of practice rights, while the other limits practice to osteopathic manipulative medicine.
