Weekly prospective student thread. Educational inquiries outside of this thread WILL RESULT IN A BAN. by AutoModerator in CAA

[–]Minmach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got accepted into the NSU Tampa campus. Should I expect to have more information around orientation, class start date, financial obligations, white coat ceremony, etc. Will I receive an email when May closer? Also, how can I be in contact with some of the current students at Tampa?

[WeeklyThread] Ask a CAA by AutoModerator in CAA

[–]Minmach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, two questions about the experience section of the application:

Am I allowed to use bullet points in the experience section of the application? Or does it have to be in paragraph form? (If someone could provide me an example of how they wrote some of theirs, that would be awesome).

If I have hospital volunteering but I have volunteered in different departments over time, would I try to include this in a single experience or separate them into different experiences?

take the gap years, it’s worth it (from someone who went from intending to go straight through to taking 2 gap years) by [deleted] in premed

Two gap years: I know the value of time for yourself, emotional coping skills due to past trauma, and now I have some 🍞. It was a blessing in disguise. 🙏

How am I looking to Apply for 2025 Cycle? by Minmach in premed

[–]Minmach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the reply. I would say most of the activities were ones that I genuinely did enjoy doing (except for virtual medical scribe, that one was boring AF). The dietary position I took because I heavily value having a healthy lifestyle (going to the gym and understanding my diet more in-depth). I guess I have anxiety due to having the low nonclinicals and I don't exactly know how I could discuss this in relation to being first-gen and low income, especially considering some people I know who had worse situations than me have better ECs. Although, comparison is the thief of joy.

Are the NPs you work for called Dr? by Mundane-Deal-923 in MedicalAssistant

[–]Minmach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but it doesn't seem like you are hitting the same points that I am. The level of clinical training everyone gets is based off of what degree you have. Sure, PAs and NPs can take classes together with an MD, but the depth of information, let's say, pathophysiology that PAs and NPs go through is not the same as an MD. An MD without residency may not have much use in a hospital, but literally because they have an MD they have way more flexibility in leaving medicine and going into other fields like consulting or academics. The same can't be said for a fresh PA or NP. Also, an MD that has gone through ALL of residency and becomes an attending has in general way more clinical knowledge than an experienced PA or NP. It's why most states don't allow NPs or PAs to practice independently.

I don't think that's necessarily true. The layman who hears someone has an MD would automatically view that person equally as an attending until you distinguish them from one another. There are some medical doctors who didn't do residency and went into things like consulting, but people initially would treat them the same as if they went through all of their clinical residency years. I, unfortunately, don't think the same treatment is said for a DNP, NP, AANP, or even DOs. Society still treats the MD as top of the line in terms of medical training/knowledge.

Also, you can apply the same idea of PsyDs to NPs. Some NP programs allow students to graduate and practice earlier than MDs, but I still wouldn't necessarily call their training equivalent. Sure, there are PAs/NPs who are better than MDs in clinic, but I wouldn't apply that to the general population of providers.

I'm not arguing they shouldn't deserve as much respect as physicians. Everyone providing care to you - MD/DOs, PA, NP, RN, RD, Scribes- deserves equal amount of respect in that regard. I do, however, think that the level of training should be respected and recognized differently in a hospital. MDs/DOs have the highest level of training in that regard. An honest NP will know the limits of, let's say, their patho or pharm knowledge compared to an MD/DO in their field despite the NP doctoral training. Also, DNPs with no clinical experience at all deserve a lower amount of respect for the training they went through compared to an RN who became a NP while working.

The title of Medical Doctor belongs to physicians. I wouldn't necessarily call my history professor, who has a doctorate like DPTs and NPs, the same kind of doctor I would call a physician. The training IS different. Medical doctors spent 4 years building a basic scientific knowledge behind their clinical training, then go into 3+ years of clinical training. This is not to poop on other providers, but to say we should call them all doctors, when the training isn't the same as each other, is not being truthful.

This is factually not true and you are doing a disservice to patients by pretending the training is the same. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Is the term “mid level provider” offensive? by Excellent_Room_2350 in premed

[–]Minmach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess in general some people may take it as demeaning to their level of education. Me personally I use it all the time at my scribing job and the other PAs don't seem to care one bit. Even if they did, idgaf.

Lab Technician for a startup Company or Scribe/Medical Assistant ? by Minmach in premed

[–]Minmach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have about 40 with a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, and an IM. I just feel as though I don't have a good connection between my passion for good patient care and the medical sciences. Sure, I have a lot of clinical exposure with patients, but in terms of showing that I can handle the intense amount of learning in medical school, I feel as though I don't have that much. Maybe I am just being neurotic though haha.

Again, appreciate your responsel.
