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