This content is sponsored by MedStar Washington Hospital Center.A trip to receive medical care may lead patients to come across any number of healthcare professionals and acronyms: a doctor, a nurse, a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant, to name a few. So what are the differences between all of these providers? And which is best for you?MedStar Washington Hospital Center’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeffrey Dubin breaks it down so that patients can understand both the different positions and how they all work collaboratively at MedStar Washington Hospital Center to put patient care first.There are different physician types, Dr. Dubin said. A physician is a doctor who is trained to practice medicine.

After that, some physicians receive sub-specialty training, which can last from one to three years, he added.There are ...Sunak investigated in UK over possible undeclared interest

LONDON (AP) — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under investigation over allegations he failed to disclose shares his wife owns in a child care business that stands to benefit from his government’s budget, a parliamentary watchdog disclosed.Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg opened an inquiry last week for possible violations of the code of conduct that calls on members to be “open and frank” in declaring relevant financial interests, according to an update given to members of Parliament who returned Monday from Easter break. Parliament requires members to disclose financial interests within four weeks of something they said or actions they took that may have been influenced by a financial interest. A Sunak spokesperson says he did not make a declaration as a member of parliament but had recorded a “ministerial interest,” the equivalent disclosure for government ministers. The government’s budget announced last month includes a massive expansion o...New US tax credit rules narrow the list of eligible EVs

DETROIT (AP) — Ten electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles will be eligible for a $7,500 U.S. tax credit, while another seven could get $3,750 under new federal rules that go into effect on Tuesday.But under the Treasury Department rules and other provisions of last year’s Inflation Reduction Act, most of the more than 60 electric or plug-in hybrids on sale in the U.S. won’t get any tax credits. That could slow acceptance of electric vehicles and could delay reaching President Joe Biden’s ambitious goal that half of new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. run on electricity by 2030.The new rules, which govern how much battery minerals and parts can come from countries that don’t have free trade agreements with the U.S., bumped nine vehicles off the tax credit eligibility list that went into effect Jan. 1.The 10 vehicles eligible for the full $7,500 credit are Tesla’s Model 3 Performance model, the Tesla Model Y, Ford’s F-150 Lightning pickup, the Chry...Grains higher, Livestock mixed.

The best-of-seven river rivalry will get underway on Tuesday at the Prudential Center.
