When recruiting for any given position, do you feel that the hiring practice should have a preference for one credential over the other? E.g., should a Family Practice only/preferentialy recruit for an NP over a PA? Or a surgical group a PA over an NP? Or look at each and let the best candidate win?
I'm interested in hearing your opinions, especially any of you who have been invovled in hiring decisions.
