Nurse practitioners (NP) were first regulated in B.C. in 2005. NPs must meet advanced requirements to register as NPs and use the NP title. These nursing professionals are usually educated in a master's program. They are also regulated for reasons of public safety and to support a sustainable health care system. They are not substitutions for physicians but their roles complement one another in order to improve patient access. When NPs and physicians work together, the physicians can focus on more complex diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
