A list of studies... https://www.nice.healthcare/the-nicessities/nurse-practitioners-physician-assistants-safety

Most studies to date show better health outcomes / better health management for NP seen patients in primary care vs MD.

This is important info, but two issues here:

1) The individual articles you posted are from 2019 and 2020, and the proliferation of essentially untrained NPs is more recent.

2) The NPs that people are worried about the most are ones practicing in specialties and not primary care.

I am fine with an NP, even in a specialty, but the training needs to be waaaaay better than it is. [/quote]

I am the one who posted the links and I agree with you. NPs need experience and they need to be properly trained for the role they are doing. This thread had gone down the road of seeing an NP = poor health care, so that was more what I was responding to. The research doesn't support that. [/quote]
