Health courses were the most popular for Queensland students entering tertiary education this year, according to the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre.
QTAC CEO Dr John Griffiths believes the high preference for health courses was in reaction to the growing demand for professionals in the allied health industry, including physiotherapy and psychological services.
The allied health field covers health professions outside of doctors, dentists, and nurses, supporting patients via a range of technical, therapeutic, and diagnostic services.
