text: The following fields of therapies are considered "related services" or "allied health or "ancillary services" which have distinct educational and certification paths from nursing personnel, and are educated in other than the Schools of Nursing and certified separately (standard CNAs, LPNs, RNs) now to BS and doctoral levels. The therapy groups, unlike the rehabilitation counseling and rehabilitation medicine (Master's and doctoral) groups, have been authorized to "practice independently" under the term "rehabilitation" and been given governmental payment rates. In many sites, the aide level ("nurse's aides", "psychiatric aides", "addictions aides") performs many tasks, and new US Direct Support Workforce training are beginning to take in these personnel as needing to meet standards set by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare.
