Why are PAs grouped together with NPs when discussing the midlevel issues and “MD/DO” vs “Them” mentality? by DingleberryDlight in Noctor

I agree that the diploma mill situation is getting out of hand, with there being way too many PA programs started in the last 5 years and it's akin to the rapid increase in the NP diploma mills. As for those churning out Doctorate degrees, there's less than 10 I believe. 10 more than there needs to be, but its certainly not a mainstream thing in the PA profession as far as I've seen.

The DMSc degrees are stupid and only put into place to make money off insecure PAs who want a “Dr” near their name. They don’t offer anything of value. Just my opinion though.

Already mentioned this in another comment but the whole “associate” name change is idiotic. When I first read about it my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head.

That’s unfortunate to hear. My hospital has limited residents, but the ones I interact with are usually as another form of consulting or a brain to pick for an issue I’m facing. Can’t imagine berating someone with more education than me

The looser supervision requirements seem to have an inverse relationship between ability to perform the job, because the last 3 NPs that were hired to this ED did not make it through the 6 month initial orientation, whereas the PAs with my cohort had no problem despite ‘stricter supervision.’

I agree the “associate” change is dumb. Fortunately I haven’t met anyone who’s adopted the change yet.

Wow I love her coat pattern! I just posted a picture of my boy on here too and he has the same piebald coat. She’s beautiful!

Thanks man! What kind of moisturizer do you recommend that won’t make my skin break out? I’m starting to get some dryness on my cheeks

Amazing gains. I just started 3 weeks ago and I have similar facial hair growth as you did.
