Caregiver
What would be the best way to say this in Spanish?
Nowadays, when you go see your doctor, sometimes you are seen by a Nurse Practitioner or a Medical Assistant instead of your doctor and these people are called "caregivers".
I don't see the word in Tomísimo's dictionary so I don't think I asked this before. But if I have, I apologize.
Thanks!

I think cuidador/a is the best fit.

Would you say........... cuidador de salud
just to be more specific that we are talking about healthcare?

Those sound good. A native speaker suggested personal de salud as another option.

I have always used asistente. I know it's a bit vague, but it gets the point across. For nurse practitioner I use una enfermera/o con una educación especial que le permite recetar medicamentos bajo la supervisión de un médico.

I usually say "practicante" or "asistente".
As poli says, it's a good form to speak to anybody without knowing his/her exact medical degree. I don't know really if they are asistants, skilled medical people or whaterver.
greetings :D

Muchas gracias a todos los caballeros......
Creo que en escrito sería asistente de salud.
