A primary care provider (PCP) is a health care professional you see for any health concerns. A family medicine provider is one type of PCP, and PCPs can also include advanced practice providers (APPs), such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs).

An advanced practice provider (APP) is a health care professional who has advanced education and clinical training, allowing them to take on a broader scope of practice and perform tasks traditionally carried out by physicians. This category includes nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).

These professionals play a crucial role in providing health care services, including diagnosing and treating medical conditions, prescribing medications and offering preventive care. APPs are essential members of health care teams, contributing to the delivery of comprehensive and accessible patient care.
