# List practitioners

Returns a **paginated** list of practitioners for the practice identified by
`X-Practice-Id`. Results are ordered by **creation time**, newest first
(`created_at` descending), then by `id` descending for a stable sort.
Optional query parameter `is_active`, when `true`, restricts results to
practitioners who are currently active. When `false`, restricts results to
practitioners who are currently inactive. When omitted, all practitioners are returned.
Optional query parameter `site_id` restricts results to practitioners assigned to
the specified site.
Use `limit` and the `meta.cursor` value from the response to retrieve further pages.
