Basically, Patient and Practioner resources would be sufficient.

@Lin Zhang ,you have mentioned the resources sir , but I want to know which field we can use for those roles

@Lin Zhang ,In Patient ,Practitioner roles we won't be having different roles to use like I mentioned above, those roles are like other than Patient and Practitioner.

Take a look at PractitionerRole - it is intended for any type of professional designation.

Lin Zhang (Dec 16 2020 at 14:58):

Indeed, PractitionerRole is a specific set of Roles/Locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization for a period of time. But it is not merely a field but a more complex structure (resource) consisting of more than one element.
