Slowly getting us ready for the widespread use of mid-levels for primary care:
“The government and the VA system was the entity that dumbed us down from doctor to provider. That was to foster the environment in which registered nurses, nurse practitioners [NPs], etc would all be lumped into the category of’provider,’ and all would be considered’equals.’”“We are going to have NPs taking over primary care, just watch. High-tech specialties will have more doctors and they will disproportionately fix primary care with more NPs.”
