this is great from that NP colonoscopy paper...NPs were just as good as fellows...except for 28% (413!) of 1443 colonoscopies that were deemed not screening exams. So NPs just as good 100% of the time, 78% of the time

FL SB894 - looking to expand PA supervision from 4:1 PA:Dr to 10:1 PA:Dr ratio. This is a backdoor to independent practice. Next year they’ll complain “we’re not supervised”. Not to mention Dr’s are liable for all actions of PA’s (nice touch there). #FlaPol #Sayfie

APRNs are currently allowed to practice to their fullest potential - as a nurse, which is what they are. Not a physician. #patientsafety #txlege #OnlyPhysiciansArePhysicians #APRNsArentPhysicians #TeamBasedCare #HB2029 #SB915 #TMAadvocacy

Expanding the scope of practice of NPs and PAs does nothing for patient care.

93% of APRNs practice in urban areas. They don’t serve rural and border areas as claimed. Expanding scope is dangerous and doesn’t improve #accesstocare. #APRNsArentPhysicians #txlege #OnlyPhysiciansArePhysicians #StopScopeCreep #HB2029 #SB915 #TMAadvocacy

APRNs are currently allowed to practice independently and to their fullest licensed potential – as a nurse, which is what they are. NOT a physician. #patientsafety #txlege #OnlyPhysiciansArePhysicians #APRNsArentPhysicians #TeamBasedCare #HB2029 #SB915 #TMAadvocacy

NPs in Texas can already work anywhere in the state to provide primary care. There are no “barriers”. But NPs don’t go rural anyway, and giving them independent practice won’t change that (look at every other state that has already done so). False arguments are being used here

Nurse Practitioner explains why her patients should call her “doctor”!
Just download your non-clinical, no entrance exam, continue to work full- time, no dissertation, 500 hour shadowing, 2 year DNP degree in lobbying/administration online!
Patient deception!

See how the AMA's Truth in Advertising campaign shows the need for health care providers to clearly state their level of training, education and licensing.

State legislatures are now in session, and NPs are at it again in FL, MS, PA, UT, TN, TX, and WI.
What are YOU doing to bring focus and clarity to the debate?

The steady decline of inflated organized medicine. Follow the money. Lowering standards just to get more membership $$$. Also reinforces the complete absence of any desire to obtain “fellow” status while paying for it.

I was never a believer in the letters after “MD” on doctors’ signature line. What do they mean, really?Now, after seeing the ACC giving the “fellow” designation to non-MDs too, my skepticism is now officially justified. *sigh* Guess it’s #JustaClub @ACCinTouch

Growing number of co-sponsors for
the Resident Physician Reduction Act of 2019. Over 200 as of this week. Majority Democrats but do have 33 Republicans who see the need to fix the residency funding freeze from 1997. Call and email your Congressional Reps.
