Mid-level providers

**Mid-level providers** are healthcare professionals who deliver a range of medical services and support physicians in patient care. This category typically includes nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and sometimes certified nurse midwives (CNMs). Mid-level providers play a crucial role in expanding access to healthcare, managing routine and preventive care, diagnosing and treating common illnesses, and assisting in more complex medical procedures under the supervision or collaboration of physicians. Their growing presence helps improve efficiency and patient outcomes across various healthcare settings.
