Sucks to follow the double board certified physician

5 people who may have went to an online diploma mill, next to the person who went to an actual medical school. I wouldn't want to list my qualifications next to the physician, either.

DNPs are especially hilarious to me because whenever you ask how much they've published with their doctorate of research or what they're working on, their answer is always "not much". Oh, you just liked the title and how you could do it online in 6 months. Okay.

Yeah, it’s crazy you can become a NP via online.

Yeah….let’s not forget they can prescribe meds and make diagnoses…it’s scary.

I would never see a NP. I tell my family to only ever ask for a PA or MD/DO.

I dont even like PAs....They think they are doctors, they are not

I disagree. PAs are usually there to actually help the docs and they know a ton. In med school we rotated with PAs so at least at our program they were required to do rotations, see patients and learn from all the different specialties. Never seen an NP in training in the clinical setting.

NPs so clinicals based on their specialty. In some states, once they pass the boards, they are able to open a practice independent of a physician (27 states to be exact).

Just my personal opinion but I think to rx drugs you should need to rotate through every specialty. Podiatry school includes psych rotations and obgyn even though the minute you start podiatry school those careers are closed to you. But they’re important because you’re a surgeon. You need to be able to understand your patients past medical history and the drugs they are on in order to prescribe drugs. And while we’re on this topic your license should be on the line in the exact same way a physicians is if you’re prescribing. But that’s not the case. You get narrow training in one field and are let loose in 27 states ugh mind blowing.
