Practitioner

A clinician or other professional involved in care delivery.

Practitioner access is clinician-context only (user/ scopes): your app sees the practitioners the signed-in user can see. Use fhirUser on your launch to identify which Practitioner is driving the session.

Advertises a validated CA Core+ profile.
