Sam The new PA degree is “Doctor of Medical Science”
I see it as evidence of an entire society breakdown of respect for truth and meritocracy.
You can now “identify” as anything you want, why not identify as a doctor.
PAs and NPs win the valentine war on twitter but the pts are mad

Physician Assistants have successfully lobbied politicians to rebrand their profession to more easily deceive patients. Oregon will become the first state to permit the title Physician “Associate”

Patients deserve informed consent & transparency should come first

Don't be fooled by the false promises in SB 279. The data is clear: Removing physicians from care teams only results in higher costs and worse outcomes for patients. app.speechifai.tech/s/tSTjDpsr4v0g…

Thank you @votemcfall for taking a stand against dangerous step therapy policies and leading the way on H.B. 5339! It’s time for Michigan to protect patient access to medication. #ProtectMICare

Excellent op ed | Nurse practitioner bill is full of false promises, bad for patients | Bridge Michigan⁩

“In short, the legislation is a big promise that will never deliver.”

Do you think physician assistants should be permitted to change the name of the profession because they want to increase their marketability at the expense, or perhaps benefit, of confusing patients?

Bill to abolish noncompete agreements in physicians’ employment contracts moves from PA House Health Committee

It now awaits consideration by full House of Representatives.

AAEM The origins of patient deception. Patients deserve informed consent.

The term “provider” in reference to any clinician is vague, inaccurate, and hinders a patient’s ability to make informed decisions. This is why we have updated our terminology in our statement: ow.ly/IVq750CoxgZ

Hopkins Students, like CRNA/DNP STUDENT Sherry Dong, deceive patients!

Ashleigh @unfriendlym3 The patient deception is relentless

True. American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) is more concerned about money, marketing, & patient deception than they are about anything else. That’s why they’re lobbying hard for Full Practice Authority (FPA) instead of going back for med school

Dr. Mittman PA-C, old President of the AAPA, was awarded an honorary “Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc)” from the—100% online, continue to work, 1yr—program at Lynchburg “Medical School”

Why didn’t he just do the very little work needed to get the degree?

Patients First They all come out of these NP and DNP degree (propaganda) mills with the same thought process - they don’t even realize DNP is not even remotely a clinical degree

NP is angry IM physician told her its inappropriate to introduce herself as 'doctor' in the ICU, claims no one respects IM physicians and they’re the lowest on the totem pole

‘If you don’t want to see me as a clinician then go wait to see a GP’

No humility
No insight into your limitations
Dangerous

Pretty crazy how fast a physician friend got this letter

Children's Health fires over 24 pediatricians because it 'operates under a business model that relies more heavily on nurse practitioners.' Renames the business 'MD Kids Pediatrics'

#StopScopeCreep

MidlevelCare So important for supporters of #SB279 to understand.
NPs told me 'we don't want to replace physicians' -- but #SB279 is a bill for CORPORATIONS (not NPs, not patients) - and it will allow them to remove physicians from healthcare teams, regardless of what any of us 'want'
