We understand that the Medical Director is not expected to manage clinic staff however, understanding the number of staff members and professional mix (RN,NP,MD, Admin etc.) of the staff on hand is paramount in a physician's ability to ascertain the level of effort needed to be successful in completing the required tasks. This also effects the type of trainings that will need to be provided to staff members. Current make-up is 2 nurse practitioners, 1 registered nurse, 1 radiology/lab tech, and 4 admins
