Is there a profession with educational and training standards as poor as #nurse practitioners? Why does the #AANP continue to protect online diploma mills that will harm innocent patients? #MedTwitter #StopScopeCreep

If a hospital comms. team can make the mistake and not realise a PA in paediatric surgery isn’t a paediatric surgeon, well, that only reinforces the point me and many others have made about the ambiguity in the name. Odds on this not happening if he was a physician’s assistant?
@tinternetqueen @Lilas_T_ @Burnt2020 That section wasn't written by him. That's the imperial college site if you read it and whoever has updated the site has written it in error. If you look closely he has physician associate written across his forehead though if that counts.

@AmerMedicalAssn @CMSGov This is what cancer patients get when they ask to see a physician @MayoClinic and agrees to wait longer to see one. MBA gaslighting. @MayoClinic should be ashamed of putting profits ahead of patients @DGlaucomflecken @somedocs @Physicians4Pts @HalstedMD

Thousands of GPs out of work Yet over 1500 PAs in primary care. And thousands more other staff replacing GPs Whilst patients can’t get GP appointments Why? See this video from Panorama
🚨 This is the state of general practice at the moment ⬇️. 📢 *FIFTY ONE* GPs have applied for ONE shift. 🪧 Bear that in mind in when you can’t get an appt with a doctor at your surgery this morning. 🚫 There is no shortage of GPs available to work. They are NOT being
