    Why DNP and not MD?

    Why DNP and not MD?

    wtbcrna replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why is important for physicians, dentists, and podiatrists to call themselves Doctor, if it is all about the patient? No one said it is your specific job to educate the patient about these...

    Why DNP and not MD?
