[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in medical education and have first hand experience with testing 1st yr med students and NP students about midway through their training on the head-to-toe physical exam.

I’ll just say that I won’t see a NP voluntarily…and leave it at that.[/quote]

What have you seen with placement of medical students into clinical rotations? Is this a limiting factor in expanding medical school class size?[/quote]

Need to change my answer from yesterday. We actually just had a conversation about this this morning at work. Yes, there are big challenges placing students on rotations. There are nowhere near enough spots for them in our hospital, and they are spread far and wide on their rotations. [/quote]

That is what I have heard, as well.

You can't just open up more medical school seats. The clinical part of training has to be arranged and supported. Even if people want to teach in the clinical setting, we are down so much on staffing that it is already a large burden.[/quote]
