Provider types (clinical roles)
Physicians (MD or DO) at UHS are all licensed to practice medicine in the State of Michigan and are all board-certified specialists in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Gynecology, or Psychiatry. Many have developed areas of special interest, such as cardiology, minor surgery, orthopedics, or women's health.
Physician Assistants (PA-C) have completed a two-year medical program after undergraduate training. PAs evaluate, diagnose, and provide medical care for a wide variety of problems. They also perform diagnostic procedures and minor surgery and prescribe medications and treatments. They work closely with physicians, and a backup physician is always available for their consultation. PAs are board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (PA-C) and function under the guidelines of the Michigan Medical Practice Acts.
Nurse Practitioners (NP) are registered nurses (RN) with additional specialized education (NP, MS, MSN) and skills to provide primary health care.
