In addition to doctors, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants, there are many other healthcare professionals who inform and educate patients. These healthcare extenders—such as registered dietitians, nurses, and medical social workers—have a unique, hands-on perspective on patient needs. Physicians may be the prescribers, but healthcare extenders can directly influence the likelihood that a patient will adhere to their treatment.
