Our Care Team
- Physicians are doctors who earned a medical degree and specialize in one area of medicine.
- Providers are healthcare professionals who offer medical services and are not physicians.
- Clinicians is a broad term for healthcare professionals who work directly with patients, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other allied health professionals.
- We say “physicians” when referring only to medical doctors, “physicians and providers” for the care team, or “clinicians” to broadly refer to all who directly care for patients.
