Physicians (MD or DO) at UHS are all licensed to practice medicine in the State of Michigan and are all board certified specialists in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine or Gynecology. Many of them have developed areas of special interest, such as cardiology, minor surgery, orthopedics or women's health.
Physician Assistants (PA-C) have completed a two-year medical program after undergraduate training. PAs evaluate, diagnose and provide medical care for a wide variety of problems. They also perform diagnostic procedures and minor surgery and prescribe medications and treatments. They work closely with physicians, and a back-up physician is always available for their consultation. PAs are board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (PA-C) and function under the guidelines of the Michigan Medical Practice Acts.
Nurse Practitioners (NP) are registered nurses (RN) with additional specialized education (NP, MS, MSN) and skills to provide primary health care. Nurse practitioners identify and manage health problems and promote preventive health behaviors. All NPs have completed a certification program or hold a master's degree. NPS also have American Nurses Association certification as adult nurse practitioners and work in conjunction with physicians.
Doctors of Optometry (Optometrists or OD) are health care professionals who are licensed to practice in Michigan. They specialize in examination, diagnosis and treatment of conditions of impairment of the visual system. Treatment includes prescription of medications and visual aids (eyewear, contact lenses and other optical aids) as well as vision therapy.
Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) provide clinical services and support for patients throughout UHS. For example, they provide:
- Health education and self-care instruction
- Pregnancy Testing, options counseling, contraception, treatment for Urinary Tract Infections in Women, cholesterol testing, blood pressure checks and Rapid Strep Test
- Immunizations, allergy injections and travel health advice
- Care for minor injuries and wound
