AAEM/RSA Releases Statement of Concern about the imploding EM physician job market due to proliferation of midlevel NPs and PAs
💬 comments
Shout-out to the AAEM Resident and Student Association for calling attention to the very important issue of "the inappropriate overuse of NPs and PAs practicing beyond their training in roles that should be filled by highly trained board certified emergency physicians." With some estimating that as many as 1 in 4 new graduates from Emergency Medicine residency programs, the infiltration of Emergency Medicine by midlevel nurse practitioners and physician's assistants will remain a huge issue for the foreseeable issue.
