Providers
Our providers offer state-of-the-art HIV medical care and look forward to partnering with you on your healthcare journey.
An attending physician has completed all specialty and sub-specialty training and is employed as a faculty member in the Division of Infectious Diseases. Several of our attending physicians trained here as fellows and liked it so much they stayed!

- Daniel Vo, MD
- Donald Hong, MD
- Luis Parra-Rodriguez
Whereas a registered nurse (RN) has completed an advanced training program in a medical specialty, a nurse practitioner (NP) can be a primary provider and prescribe medications.
- Debra Gase, RN, MSN, FNP-BC
- Katie Hannigan, RN, MSN, FNP-BC
A physician assistant (PA) is a licensed and certified health care professional who practices medicine in partnership with doctors. Similar to a nurse practitioner (NP), a PA can also prescribe medications.

A resident is a physician who has finished medical school and is receiving training in a specialized area like internal medicine. Board certification requires satisfactory completion of a residency program.
