**A Healthcare Professional (HCP) is in accordance with the Bruker policies any physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist or other individual who may prescribe, administer, purchase, dispense, recommend, or supply medical products or treatments or pharmaceutical products. In many cases, Bruker interacts with HCPs who work for state-owned hospitals (e.g. as medical scientists). These individuals will be classified as both HCPs and Government Officials.
