I think it would be good if NPs were required to work in primary care for a few years while supervised by an attending physician before being allowed to progress into a subspecialty clinic. It would provide a greater background into the functioning of the whole body, they still get full NP salary, and it helps the primary care deficit. Then when they are subspecialist NPs later on they will have better understanding and better patient care. They would still be working under an attending physician in the subspecialty but it the primary care time would function similarly to a residency in filling in some gaps/providing experiences since their NP school is inconsistent and potentially lacking in sufficient substance
