Why are PAs still graduating after their 1 YEAR OF CLINICALS has been even further truncated after students were pulled from CORE rotations in early March because of COVID?
NO NEED TO MAKEUP!

So many people don’t know what a resident is or what we do. We are Doctors working up to 80 hrs per week while earning close to minimum wage for 3-7 years while training in our specialty. Please view and RT widely. #meded#MedTwitter @Covid19Docs https://t.co/0XH04z6mvu
When someone tells you APRN's & PA's are the same as MD & PA, remember this chart & ask yourself if it makes sense or if you would accept the same argument for your Lawyer vs Paralegal or 777 pilot vs Cessna Cub pilot
“We were kicked while we are down” - NY ED doc hit with 10% pay cut w/ a $4000 monthly student loan bill

We have no competition in #healthcare.
The US artificially capped physician residency spots in 1997.
35 states limit the number of hospitals by committee. It started in 1964.
The US made it illegal for physicians to own hospitals in 2011.

1. Chief of staff physician mom left maternity leave early to get back to work to fight COVID19 2. She spoke up that safety gear was not being allowed for RN team 3. Collects community baby monitors to limit staff exposure to COVID19+ 4. Terminated for being “disruptive”
We are being asked to volunteer at the hospitals. No housing, travel, meals, or guarantee of PPE. But the thing that gets me, is that if I get sick and die my family is left with nothing and will also be responsible for my hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans.
