[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nurse who has NPs in the family. This is a downstream effect of caps to medical school admissions, driving costs of getting those degrees leading to student loans that can't be paid off by the low salaries your primary care doctor makes. So, to fill those gaps, you get mid-level providers (NPs and PAs) who can do the primary care work. It's fine if you only want to see a MD - but those will be increasingly filled by NPs and PAs as time goes on. I'm lucky in that I've had excellent care delivered by the mid-level providers. I've had some duds, too. But I've had duds in the medical profession, too. [/quote] NP and PAs are not only in primary care. They are now in specialities and surgery. [/quote]
