Mid-Level Providers

Our department’s medical provider staff boasts an unparalleled group of PA and NP’s. Our mid-level providers (MLP’s) take primary responsibility for medical and forensic evaluation of all victims of sexual assault. Highland has an affiliation with Samuel Merritt University’s Physician Assistant Program, creating an educational program and clinical rotation for PA students. In addition to working with residents and attendings in the ED, our MLP’s are heavily involved in the ED’s screening and rapid evaluation program and provide coverage throughout the entire department when residents have protected time for conferences, journal clubs, retreats, or other residency functions.
