In the world of medicine, nothing is as hotly debated as the issue of the scope of practice for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, also referred to as advanced practice providers or mid-levels. But what does the body of scientific evidence actually say about mid-level encroachment? Let’s find out.

A lot of you have been asking for a video talking about the issue of unmatched residents. I actually discussed this topic in depth in my Surprising Facts About the 2022 Match over on the Kevin Jubbal, M.D. channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpFZHeX1vOk.html

The lack of adequate residencies to accommodate all medical school graduates is a travesty! Currently there are 154 M.D. schools and 38 D.O. schools and the number in my state are projected to increase by 2 more in the coming years. If government funding is not available currently to accommodate all graduates what will happen in the future? In my opinion all graduates should be able to do an internship and this could be accomplished by slashing the first year salary, making funds available to pay all graduates as interns because it is in all respects a training year. It has not been that many years since med school graduates would sometimes do an internship and then hang out their shingle or work with an established practice, often in an underserved area, rural in most cases. Presently government funding is used to train PA's and APRN's to bridge the gap where there are not enough MD's to serve an area. If an M.D. completed an internship and then worked as a licensed physician he or she would be a more qualified asset than the NP's and PA's. To not utilize the medical school graduate who does not match and is unable to complete an internship is a lost asset and a waste of money for the taxpayer who paid taxes to support the local state medical school. The military uses medical school graduates as independent practitioners after an internship. They can then apply for residency programs or complete their service obligation as a general medical officer. To do otherwise is an injustice to the medical school graduates who do not match and the communities that are medically underserved.

I made the decision to pursue PA because I do not want a doctor’s scope of practice. If someone is going to PA or NP school hoping to do a doctor’s job, they are just trying to avoid medical school and the other extra responsibilities (I.e. legal) that doctors hold and those are NOT the people I want treating patients independently.

@HelixChaga Год назад

Agreed. I want to pursue NP school to continue to be part of the team, that's what the nursing role has always been. I respect the MD/DO role, and like knowing that if something is over my head, I can ask for help and have a resource to learn from as I practice. That being said, NP schools are too loose in my opinion. It's just too weird that it's each individual students job to locate their preceptor. I don't see how that benefits the student or the evetual patient.

@Meneedsabreak Год назад

If you think that you need oversight when caring for a population that seeks your care for mostly HEENT and GI issues in primary care, then you should have pursued another career. An RN already recognizes many if not most of these diagnoses without the advanced training. A major part of the medical model is to know when to consult-- hence a primary care sending a patient to cardiology for a new murmur or arrythmia. Sounds like you're trolling.

@Nanajsiuz Год назад

@@Meneedsabreak a person without the expertise wanting oversight for their job that doesn’t help them develop that expertise is completely a reasonable thing to want.

@Meneedsabreak Год назад

@@Nanajsiuz your comment is reasonable when you state it in this general context, but I contend that the "oversight" described is more of managing than collaborating. Most NPs do not have their own practice, and fellowships are few. However, most have tons of bedside experience in progressive/intermediate/critical care and are well versed in the standards of practice by the time they complete the MSN program with subsequent certification. Collaboration and growth are the key words, not oversight from an overseer-- whom by the way is not an experienced NP but a physician who just looks down at nursing science melded with the medical diagnostic model. Believe me, nurses respect physicians and their advanced specialized knowledge; yet many physicians are taught that nurses are stupid and are insultive as newbies in their first job. We are supposed to be a team but this commenter absolutely can not speak for me nor my APRN colleagues with the minimization of her educational experience.

It’s ridiculous to me that some pre-nursing students will talk to me about how they want to do nursing and do a short course to become an NP because then they’ll be able to do what “doctors do, without having to waste so much time.” It scares me that some people who think the extra practice and guidance a physician get, in order to treat a living human, is a WASTE of time, just because they want to brag about practicing independently. As a newly matriculated med student, I was very fortunate to meet some wonderful PAs/NPs in my premed years that were so smart, but has never had to outwardly brag. They had the trust of their team, and knew exactly where their limits were and strived to learn from it. I only met one NP who was as described above, and although she was the most outspoken, she was the least trusted, even by her fellow NPs.

@jasonlang9074 Год назад

I mean there’s currently an issue right now with new grad nurses wanting to take up travel contracts because for some reason they think nursing school and actual nursing practice are the same when they aren’t. So in that sense they’re also wanting to shoot the sh!t in that aspect as well! There needs to be a lot of understanding that needs to happen unfortunately

@restalot1 Год назад

A large part of medical training is a waste of time. An ophthalmologist for example will not need 90% of what they learned in medical school. Same thing for orthopedic surgeons and other specialties. They actually learn to become doctors in residency. . . . not medical school. Also . . what's up with tuition these days?!? OUTRAGEOUS COST with some students coming out $400,000-$500,000 in DEBT. . .

@NovaBrite618 Год назад

Yes, what they said to you is ridiculous, but you’re talking to pre-nursing students, AKA, people who know nothing about nursing. Pre-nursing students might have big ideas about what they want to accomplish but when they get into nursing school, they’ll find out they really didn’t know anything at all. I’ve seen some people like that in my day, and they didn’t even make it through their BSN program, let alone a masters + post-masters NP program or a DNP program. I used to want to be a doctor when I was a kid, but I got married young and raised children instead. My my 30s, it no longer seemed like a practical goal. I can still help people as an NP, and I want to work in mental health (an area with a major need for providers and not enough providers to help everyone in need). To become a PMHNP, I will have a total of 9 years of college education. It’s not exactly the super quick and easy pathway that people make it out to be.

@Eirabear380 Год назад

@@restalot1 In theory you’re right, but life is not so straightforward. I also think med school is the time for you to find your specialty as well. Most students don’t come into med school (or at least me and my classmates) having a DEFINITE choice. Maybe a preference, but we are still open to options. So how would we know in our first and second year what we would need to know? Then comes third and fourth year when we are able to take what we learned, actually apply it, and find what we truly are good at and/or like. We’re taking care of people’s lives here, and people aren’t going to be a standard that you just need to learn a few controls of and it’ll be fine. I wrote this comment 2 months ago and I have felt very tired since then and sometimes think “when would I ever even apply this detail?” But at the end of the day, I feel very privileged to be in my position, so the 0.001% chance it might show up one day when I’m practicing, even if it’s not part of my specialty, is fine by me.

Im a PA working in trauma surgery at a level 1 trauma center, and 1/2 of my job is acting as the safety net under the new PGY-1s who rotate through our service every month. I teach them how to admit, discharge!, consult, remove a chest tube, what nurses can do vs what providers need to do, etc. All the little things that can between the cracks- updating a patient’s problem list so we’re billing appropriately, turning off unnecessary IV fluids, labs, and imaging (some patients have had a “stable CXR” for >10 days). And as they advance through residency, they teach me A LOT too. The other 1/2 of my job is running the geriatric trauma service, and those are my patients but I can always (and often do) call the rounding attending that day whenever I have questions on a patient’s care. I love my job because to me I really feel like I am optimizing physician-led care while also getting to provide care of my own when it is needed, which is what APPs are here for!

Good video. I agree with the end assessment. PA for 19 years. I don't like being viewed as a cheap doctor replacement by politicians, and healthcare administrators. I have less training, but I also have a significantly lower paycheck. It is really frustrating when some expect the same volume, and acuity load from PAs and NPs when we are less educated, and PAID LESS. I have worked with a broad spectrum of physicians from the ones who hate us, and treat us like scribes or med students to the ones that supposedly love us, and would be perfectly happy to sit back and let us do all their work for them. I value my physician colleagues both for their skill, and their leadership, and I never wanted to replace them.

@Meneedsabreak Год назад

You speak of something that is so commonly devastating for new graduates trying to get a job. On many threads where information is shared, quite a few new NP/PA describe their orientation as basically a week and then expected to see the same volume of patients. Is there really a fear of NP/PA physician replacement or just another way to penny pinch by undermining their value?

@robertfox4524 Год назад

@@Meneedsabreak BOTH. There was an article in doximity recently that expressed the fear that #1 patients will have worse outcomes (which they have about as much evidence for as ivermectin curing covid), and #2 about how hospital administrators and business types see us as a cheap replacement (even as a travel PA I make less than travel RNs, and even some senior permanent staff RNs on my current ER assignment in California). When you're paying an ER doc $280/hour, and you need a second provider, it only makes sense to hire a PA for $70/hour. In many cases the PA will be expected to carry a similar workload (maybe not initially, but you're made to feel like a loser if you let the doc take all the high acuity cases, even though they will rarely see any of the lower acuity stuff unless they are cherry picking to get their numbers up for bonuses). Some physicians are great, and really appreciate what we do. Some abuse the hell out of us. And yes, some do fear that the secret cabal is trying to replace them with a cheap alternative.

It's not a surprise to find out that a patient receiving treatment from someone with a third of the training would cost patients more money in the aggregate. It's so tempting to just look at any given interaction and its cost, "MD cost $100, APP cost $65. Aha! See!?" In the world, however, it's more complicated, you can pay $100 one time, or $65 three times (you may even eventually pay that $100 anyway) for the same outcome. And that cold math doesn't consider the indirect costs to the patient such as time off work going to more appointments, time spent living with uncertainty when there's no diagnosis, the frustration with thinking your APP solved your issue only for it to resurge, etc.

@@LOLWAAHH - Generally, a certain set of symptoms will equal common conditions, like how a horse is commonly thought of as the hoofbeat animal. "When you hear hoofbeats, don't think zebras, think horses". However, when a client has symptoms that are NOT so common, clinicians still frequently try to shove those clients into the common horses model instead of looking for an uncommon, more exotic condition - the zebra model. ---------------- For example, over the years, my primary treated me for many illnesses like 60 bronchitis episodes (true!), 4 pneumonias, 1 mono, 1 RSV, 1 rheumatic fever, 1 HPV mediated cancer, etc - looking at each thing as a separate horse. After I had viral meningitis twice in one year and he finally found out that I have near absent IGM, B cells, etc, I was I referred to an immunologist. All those separate diseases / horses were actually just symptoms of one very big zebra - an immune deficiency. I now get IGG infusions Q 4 weeks with great effect. My primary was so embarrassed that he never recognized a pattern, that he stopped looking me in the eye when I saw him, but would just mumble at me while facing his computer screen. ------------------- So, the moral of the story is that sometimes when you hear hoofbeats, they aren't horses at all, but ARE zebras and you have to have the training, knowledge, experience, and innate cognitive ability to recognize it.

Depends on if you're practicing at the bottom or top of your license. The NPs who lack diagnostic skill or experience always compensate by ordering more tests. You see this same behaviour in Physicians who practice at the bottom of their license and residents in training. The difference is residents gain more experience and medical education and become more precise. That infrequently happens for mid levels unless they work alongside good doctors in a solid institution. Healthcare providers are like bodyguards. You get what you pay for. Experience cannot be taught.

I feel like a fresh attending will not be as effective as a NP who has been practicing for 20 years. Also a 20 year FM attending will perform better than a fresh attending. The point I think is that not every patient needs the best possible care--the number of House tier doctors are very small. So the question should be "what is an appropriate level of care, and who is capable of providing that". Research clearly points to NPs and PAs being capable of delivering high-quality primary care on their own. This decision should ultimately be up to the patient to choose which provider they want. Nobody is forcing anyone to have a NP/PA. The patient chooses to go to the appointment. In rural areas they may not have many choices, but it's still a choice. And if a provider is not giving excellent care, they are removed.

Ask any psychiatrist about new patients presenting to their clinic who were being managed by an NP. It’s horrific.

If a patient has irritability they get a diagnosis of bipolar disorder despite meeting no further mania criteria. It’s gross mismanagement of patient care. I recently had a new patient who didn’t meet criteria for major depressive disorder and was started on paxil… Arguably the worst SSRI for depression in a young patient based on its side effect profile.

Improving access to high tier care is HUGE and the whole grasping onto scopes is really really really hurting the growing population of humans, especially in remote areas. However, I think anyone whos taking any university science course can agree. When it comes to research and formulating unproven treatment plans you really want someone well versed in science and cellular function. Which usually comes from the scientific approach that is gained otw to medical school. I actually wonder what the thought process is on Paramedics, they work independently on critical calls ALL THE TIME. Where there is No supervision and you really have to self study beyond what they teach you to be effective. Now for the acceptance rate arguement, thats usually reflective of how many facilities are available to train them. So for instance, as a Canadian I can skip the rigor of getting into a Canadian medical school and go to the UK which has hundreds of years into building university infrastructure to teach medical students. So the UK has more slots available and pumps out more Docs. Personally, I think every career choice should simply have a recognizable pathway towards entering medical school, that has nothing to do with your undergrad - How long have you been practicing, what are the results of your patients, and can you pass the med school entrance exam? It should be, oh your a PA/ NP well now if you want into medical school you have to to this and this and this, regardless of your experience because we said so, I dont think that really considers the reality that these people will be highly successful in medical school and thus increase the health care provided to the overall society.

I 100% agree with your verdict that APPs should not be independently practicing. As an ER scribe and freshly-matriculated nursing student who has very possible future plans of becoming an APRN in the distant years, I've seen the kind of complex cases that even some of the APPs I've worked with have even felt stumped on themselves, and the doctor on site was happy to help and they've been equally grateful for the help and have had subsequent good patient outcomes. This is a beautiful system that I honestly feel doesn't need any fixing whatsoever. I definitely can see the provider shortage at hand, but I too just simply want to see more residency spots open, so that the same system can continue but at greater outreach. Plus, if I become an APRN, I wouldn't want to go in it entirely alone. Something like that is my one of my worst nightmares. I love directly working with doctors and receiving the great teaching and lessons I've learned just in my time as a scribe, and I trust their judgment and experience completely and wholly.

Problem is people don't want to work together and that includes NPs and PAs look at the push for independence and for physicians look at those who don't want to collaborate

Patient centered care, always.

@@geraltoftrivia2757 You don`t sound like someone in the field. I don`t get how someone would try to take your position when they are studying something completely different.

The problem is most MD's utilize PA's to run clinics while the MD is just working as admin. I work in an NYC based Urgent care that's run by PA/NP exclusively. We operate pretty much independently but we can't bill for ourselves (PA's). Why should we see all the patients but not get the same autonomy, pay, respect, ..ect ? That needs to change. Our scope of practice is pretty much the same in regards to this specialty. PA's who do not advocate for independencies under special circumstances are hurting the future of this field.

I really hope residency opens up more this is so sad

@kuddusjajira8392 Год назад

Np, PA cannot be equal to an MD. Increase the residency spot, There are many Us citizens IMG passed USMLE but not getting residency and even cant work as PAs or NP. so they are working at Walmart LOL

NP is a masters, plus training, plus Clinicals, plus state exam. Not bachelors…

The AANP is trying to make all Nurse Practitioner programs doctoral level (Doctor of Nursing Practice) by 2025, meaning that the masters programs are going quickly and being replaced by doctoral programs.
