Prairie Clinic's Physician Assistants
Physician assistants (PAs) provide healthcare services under the supervision
of physicians. As a member of the healthcare team, PAs take medical histories,
examine and treat patients, order and interpret laboratory tests and X-rays,
make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. PAs record progress notes, instruct
and counsel patients, and order or carry out therapy.
Prairie Clinic's Midwife
A Certfied Nurse Midwife is a registered nurse who has graduated from one of the
advanced programs accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives,
and has passed a national certification exam.
Nurse midwives provide prenatal, postpartum, normal newborn care and
routine gynecological care. Although known for care during labor and
delivery, they apply their philosophy of care into women across their lifespan.
Prairie Clinic's Nurse Practitioner
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has completed
advanced education (a minimum of a master's degree) and training in the diagnosis
and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. Nurse
practitioners provide a broad range of health care services, and can serve as
a patient's regular health care provider.
Nurse practitioners see patients of all ages. The core philosophy of the field
is individualized care. Nurse practitioners focus on patients' conditions as
well as the effects of illness on the lives of patients and their families.
NPs make prevention, wellness and patient education priorities.
