[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want to get a surgery by an experienced doctor or a resident?[/quote]

A: How do you think surgeons learn to do surgery?

B: The best pediatrician my kids ever had was someone we got because we had a newborn,  and the practice was scheduling all those 2-day, 2-week, 4-week appointments in a batch. This guy was new, so his calendar was wide open.

He was amazing, even fresh out of residency. Within a few years, he was the least-available ped there.

C: Surgery and class discussion are not the same.[/quote]

Some of my Favorite medical staff are NP or PAs.  they spend more time with their patients and actually seem to care/have better bedside manner.

And C----surgery is not comparable to teaching a course.  Me personally, I'm fine with TAs (as long as they speak English well enough for students to understand---in stem that can be an issues with TAs and profs and has been an issue for decades)  or a Lecturer (PHD/MS "prof" who is not on tenure track---their main job is to teach because they love it and are good at it---less focus on research and more on teaching---that's totally fine for Chem 101/102---that material hasn't changed much over time.
