## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-practitioner and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-practitioner

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles US Core Practitioner Profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-practitioner) and US Core Practitioner Profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-practitioner). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
