These assistants help physicians in diagnosing condition of patients and planning treatments and medications depending on the results. To assist physicians and treat patients, the assistants need to possess strong observational, and analytical skills to be able to observe the health condition of the patient and draw inferences about the health disorders. Depending on their specialization, they suggest meditation, exercises, diet, lifestyle changes, and recreational activities as measures to overcome health disorders.
