career opportunities.
Expanded and minimized roles
The expanded roles of practitioners help in making the primary care facility more affordable that
helps in getting the services easily by not waiting for the doctor.
Private Practice

new technologies (Johnson,2016). In the private practice, the physician involvement is much
more due to the management roles as well.
Large group Practice Roles
If the large group is practising together it results in treating the patient more affordable by having
multiple viewpoints for the same problem (Morhardt,2015)
Specialist practices
In terms of specialist practice, the treatment is done for one problem only and the specialists are
generally more paid due to the speciality in one field of study (Howland,2017).
