For Nurses, NPs and PAs, Medical assistants 8 min read

1Two roles

Nurse / NP / PA is a clinical role. You open full charts, write notes, work on care plans and treatment plans, and order labs. You can’t sign prescriptions or approve refills unless an owner allows it.

Medical Assistant supports the clinic floor: the schedule, check-ins and the dispensary. On a chart, a medical assistant sees contact details only.

Your role shows under your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
