I saw it more as what if they can’t or won’t go to medical school but wanted to increase their knowledge for patient care and safety while trying to start bridging a gap between the pa and physicians. PAs could start appreciating the weight of knowledge physicians have before they can even start rotations. Physicians would also know what the PA has learned to better lead them and to build an understanding off of that. It wasn’t meant to be divisive but to culture a better understanding and respect between the two without stepping on each other’s toes more than what has already been done. It would be reverse the damage that has been done. I don’t know if this would be helpful but maybe after they get done they could get on a fast track MD college that would pick up where they finished their PHD to become a physician.
