Answer 1

to replace ^ with a (space), you could do something like this :

<c:set var="phy_name" value="${fn:replace(param.physicianName,'^', ' ')}" />

To exactly format the name in the following way :

 Prefix Family Name, Given Name Middle Name.

you can just use scriptlet tag and code in java, something like this :

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn" %>


<%
  String tmp[] =  param.physicianName.split(^);
  String formatedPhyName = tmp[3]+" "+tmp[0]+", "+tmp[1]+" "+tmp[2];
%>
<p>Phy name : ${formatedPhyName}</p>
