This unit group includes alternative health professionals such as homeopaths, herbalists, phytotherapists, and osteopathic manual practitioners. These professionals evaluate, treat, and manage patients' health issues using natural, non-invasive therapies and holistic approaches. Many practitioners in this category operate private practices or work in specialized wellness clinics and complementary health centers across Canada.

Prospective immigrants must ensure their qualifications align with these regional standards to practice legally in Canada.
