.............definitely not. NPs claim they do things the MD/DO does just as well. If you actually looked at their curriculum, it's pretty subpar. They flood the market, are significantly less rigorously trained, and they infringe on practices that aren't theirs. You'll also notice a lot of NPs are nurses from a generation ago who went back to online school in the evenings for a nice money grab job at the cvs minute clinic.
Other practices elevated degrees up as well. Rehab did primarily due to respect and for the cost savings it has for future complications (can provide links if you want), some added curriculum, and how focused the anatomy, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular courses and labs are.
You wont see a pt running around saying they can diagnose pathological disease or should be giving meds since they learned about it at a macro level in pharmacology, principles of disease, or differential diagnosis. Chiropractors might.
Unforunately, the nurses will.
...Itd be nice to just scrap the entire doctor term and refer to everyone based on their provider or allied healthcare status.
My two cents....you're allied healthcare unless you go MD/DO....so go to medical school if you want their provider status
