Nurse practitioner vs Medical Doctor - What is the difference? Does the title matter ?

Agreed! Love this vid

This was very informative! If NPs are doing so much already, including possibly working as individual PCPs, what sets DNPs apart? Maybe a video on this too :)

The people hurt by the lack of training of NPs will be minorities and people in poverty. Even the "superior" NP programs produce "providers" with a fraction of the training of physicians (average 6%). If you want to practice medicine, go get an MD/DO. Patients need to advocate for themselves and get the care they deserve.

But the problem with the statement “can provide the same quality of care”, is that on average, the knowledge gap is huge between the two professions. Doctors are usually not opposed to np scope expansion (they didn’t fight when it was DOs), when an increased education and training volume is in question… but, NP is FAR from providing the skills and knowledge equivalent to that attained in med school.
