HCP Marketing Beyond the Physician

Plugging Into NPs and PAs Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) comprise the most rapidly expanding group of Healthcare Providers (HCPs) in the United States. But NPs, PAs, and even RNs are for the most part overlooked by the pharmaceutical industry, according to David Mittman, PA, president of Clinician 1.

This article reviews the issue and includes tips for marketing to NPs and PAs.
