There are two kinds of mid-level providers:

PA - Attends a 3 year "mini med school" of sorts, then works under a supervising physician basically (legally) as a proxy.

APRN - An RN who gets a PhD in advanced practice. These were previously nurses who got advanced training and are (usually) legally allowed to practice independently without a supervising physician. Independent practice is generally limited to clinic. APRNs who work in the hospital have supervising physicians.
