Midlevel Motivations: “I wanted the flexibility to practice medicine in any specialty I want!”
Midlevel Mentalities are dangerous.
How can you be ready to practice independently after 2 years of assistant school with no USMLEs and no residency in anything?

@DrGMcGinty Perhaps medical schools should consider raising the bar for admissions standards for blacks to the same standard applied to other races, so that we aren't setting then up to fail later? https://t.co/uUHE43W3Rn
@jbcarmody "Human interest" isn't nearly as important as the ability to be an actor and project charm and empathy, even if it's totally fake. Patients don't know the difference as long as you're practicing medicine correctly.
@jbcarmody Eh, it's 2021 and I beg to differ. Modern medicine is becoming increasingly protocolized and outcomes defined by patient satisfaction. Program directors are better off recruiting sociopaths with good customer service skills who can follow directions.
I got approached by leadership today about going back to being a floor nurse since we’re short due to the pandemic. I didn’t become a DNP to work as a nurse. I’m here to practice healthcare. #CallMeDoctor
@WrayCharles @PettyHomoMD ...says the guy who's a professor at UCSF. Your success as a doctor IS defined, however, by whether you're able to match into residency at all, which seems to be an increasing problematic issue given the rising numbers of US med school grads who go unmatched.
Clinical knowledge from Facebook. Clinical skills from YouTube.
NPs are desperate to keep patients in the dark about their profound educational & training disparities. Their existence relies on it. That’s why they appropriate physician apparel & doctor titles.
