Nurse practitioners or Physician Assistants must be board certified by examination by an approved certifying body. NPs or PAs work independently and in collaboration with physicians and other health care professionals. NPs or PAs provide primary and specialty health care to new and established patients, assess and manage common acute and chronic illnesses, consult and make referrals and collaborate with physicians and other members of the health care team. Provision of care includes, but is not limited to, comprehensive assessment and physical examination, ordering, conducting and interpreting diagnostic tests, diagnosing and directly managing acute and chronic disease, promoting wellness, prescription of pharmacological agents and treatments, and as well as non-pharmacological therapies, and appropriate follow-up.
