MEDEX is a program creating a new class of medical professionals who are helping overworked physicians provide more and better medical care. The program takes advantage of training given medical corpsmen by the Armed Forces. Working with a physician, the Medex relieves the practitioner of much routine work not requiring a physician's sophisticated knowledge and skill. The MEDEX Program experience has developed a technological tool which has implications for many facets of the health manpower field, including the training of paraphysicians who have not had previous health training. The nomenclature in this rapidly emerging field of physician support personnel is garbed in confusion. The MEDEX Program has given us an opportunity to base health professional imagery upon actual performance rather than traditional roles. We have thus been stimulated to offer nomenclature alternatives based upon performance rather than hierarchically based terminology.
