Advanced practice nurses and physician assistants deliver direct patient care, performing clinical diagnosis and prescribing medications within their scope of practice, often functioning with significant autonomy in primary or specialty care settings. They document encounters through electronic health records (EHR) and coordinate care across specialists, families, and support staff. These roles require advanced clinical training beyond a registered nurse or physician assistant degree, attracting practitioners who want expanded diagnostic and treatment authority.
