Don’t get me started on this. Pretty soon all of the primary care in the United States will be mid-level practitioners, nurse, practitioners, or PAs. There is just too much bullshit and too many regulations, and not enough compensation. All the primary care is going to fall on the mid levels. And the MDs and DOswill be going into specialties, especially surgical specialties.
I know exactly how much the nurse practitioners know. Over the last 40 years I’ve taught them. And many are good. But for a GYN rotation doing 30 Pap smears is just not enough to be a women’s health practitioner, and that is all that is required here locally.
Almost all the specialists I go to, Cardiology, Dermatology, G.I., orthopedics, have so-called physician extenders. And every other appointment or more is with a PA or a nurse practitioner. The quality of care is not the same. But, but the physician practice bills at MD rates. The state of medicine is really pathetic.
I apologize for getting you “started”.
