What healthcare diagnosing or treating practitioners, all other do
This residual code covers health care practitioners who diagnose or treat patients but fall outside every other diagnosing and treating code in the SOC; the definition is simply all such practitioners not listed separately. O*NET places a range of unlike titles here, including acupressurist, acupuncturist, aurist, corrective therapist, colon therapist and county health officer, and it also lists physician specialties such as cardiovascular disease specialist and clinical fellow, though physicians with dedicated codes are counted there. The packet gives no task list or education data, so the description stays general: practitioners in this group assess a client's condition, choose a method of treatment and carry it out. Because the group has no common occupation behind it, no single description of training, setting or credentials applies. Occupations with their own codes, such as chiropractors, podiatrists, acupuncturists, optometrists and the various therapists, are not counted here, so readers should check those first before relying on this one.
Also called: Acupressurist, Acupuncturist, Aurist, Cardiologist, Cardiovascular Disease Specialist.

BLS published a median annual wage of $100,300 for healthcare diagnosing or treating practitioners, all other in May 2021 and $115,210 in May 2025, with employment of 26,250 and 28,630.
| Release | Median annual | Median hourly | Employment |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 2021 | $100,300 | $48.22 | 26,250 |
| May 2022 | $106,230 | $51.07 | 30,080 |

| May 2025 | $115,210 | $55.39 | 28,630 |
BLS does not design OEWS as a time series: each release pools three years of samples, and occupational classifications, area definitions and estimation methods change between releases, so a difference between two releases is not a measure of change over time. The figures are shown as published, side by side, and nothing is computed from them. See how often OEWS is updated.
