Summary
Clinical physicians who diagnose and treat patients across the training-to-leadership continuum — from supervised resident floorwork through independent board-certified attending practice to department- and hospital/system-wide clinical leadership. Distinct from non-clinical Health Services Administration (operations-only) and from Nursing/Allied Health focuses; this function centers on physician-led diagnosis, treatment decisions, procedures, and clinical accountability. The senior tier (P4) is the fully independent attending; the principal tier is divided between departmental medical leadership (P5) and hospital/system clinical executive leadership (P6).
