Michigan has no independent-practice pathway for NPs, CNMs, CNSs, or PAs — specialty certification alone never grants autonomous practice, and delegated authority is renewable/revocable rather than a one-time threshold. CRNAs may deliver anesthesia care independently within the perioperative period but must still maintain a collaborating physician/dentist/podiatrist relationship. A PA-only PLLC has been prohibited since 2010.

Michigan's Public Health Code does not carve out a separate framework for psychiatric-mental-health NPs — PMHNPs follow the same delegation-based regime as any other NP specialty certification (MCL 333.17201). This entry exists for its own page/URL/calculator weight, not a legal distinction from `np`.
