Nurse Practitioners (NPS) are registered nurses who have received additional training and education that enables them to treat non-complex illnesses, screen for illness and write prescriptions. Physicians Assistants (PAs) receive a medical education that allows them to treat non-complex illnesses, screen for illness and write prescriptions under the supervision of a physician. Both work closely with practicing PMG physicians.
