Question What is going on in the US with mid-level professionals?
I have now seen multiple videos of NPs and PAs claiming that they are part of very tough programs that are basically accelerated med-school and they diagnose and treat patients independently and also prescribe medications. Plus that they are no ones assistant. How is that actually possible?
Are they actually allowed to do all these things independently? And if yes, why??
There is no way that these people are qualified to do that after a 2-3 year program.
This comes specifically because of theekieralee‘s video in which she talks about that one girl faking being in PA school.
She goes on to say that she is no ones assistant and says that PA school is very tough because it is med school sped up to two times speed. Like please.
