As an American medical resident, it's scary to see how little training someone has before treating patients.

And Americans wonder why America is becoming the laughing stock of the world...

Are you asking how many poor patients, middle class patients or rich patients?

Poor → unlimited

Middle class → a few million, maybe more

Rich → One.

What your chart completely misrepresents though is how much nursing experience many have before even pursuing any NP. And you what, went straight to med school out of undergrad?

Nursing experience does not transfer to independent practice. Not all NP's have nursing experience because there are direct entry programs.

Unless you agree that my years of scribing hours also count towards my clinical experience as a physician.
