Abstract
To clarify terminology describing allied health professionals, it is recommended that a new term, syniatrist, defined as an individual practicing in association, union, or together with a physician, be adopted as the generic name for health professionals who carry out functions and activities traditionally performed by physicians. The name syniatrist would apply only to health workers who have direct contact with patients in providing health care under a physician's supervision. A classification of syniatrists is proposed with two principal subdivisions: (1) area of specialty of practice, and (2) relationship of syniatrist to physician. The latter subdivision would be based on the degree of independence and competence expected from the syniatrist in the application of his professional skills.
