@Pa2ed Not in all states, and definitely not if you’re an IMG. Not to mention intern year is still part of residency so if you don’t get a residency you can’t practice.
@TempletonPeckP1 @physicianfiesta @LeahHoustonMD@MidlevelCare Honest question: why should PAs be granted full practice authority after PA school and passing PANCE if a doctor who just graduated medical school can’t practice medicine without a residency?
@TempletonPeckP1 @physicianfiesta @LeahHoustonMD@MidlevelCare You’re ego is quite literally astounding. I don’t pretend to know it all, and it the same for most doctors. We realize that more training is needed when we come out of medical school hence the need for residency. All you can do is sling insults. Its sad actually.
@TempletonPeckP1 @physicianfiesta @LeahHoustonMD@MidlevelCare There’s literally nothing stopping you from going to medical school. If the “cognitive load” of PA school is sooo “high” you should be able to handle it and then guess what you’ll have free practice after residency. Look problem solved.
