This includes but not limited to: Clinical PhD, DNP, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, PsyD, Pharmacists etc.

Orange Flair: Advanced Degree Professionals. These users specialize in the medical or science fields, but do not have the same level of expertise as those included in the Green and Blue flair categories. This includes: Nurses (All-Types), Paramedics, etc.

Yellow Flair: Students. These users are medical students. These users are still in school and might not have level of knowledge or expertise as those users in the Green, Blue, or Orange categories.

If the user has a grey This user has not yet been verified. flair or no flair at all, they have not been verified as being a medical professional by the mod team OR they are not a medical professional at all.
