'The strength of our study is that it is the first to compare nurse practitioners and physicians in primary care practice by prospectively following patients with similar demographic information and...
I guess we would have to disagree how we see the role of NP... If I or family members have anything other than a routine stuff, I guarantee you that NP won't touch us... I am done arguing with you...
What does AMA lobby have to do with other providers spending their money to get a piece of the pie with minimal schooling... By the way, most med students, residents and physicians would tell you AMA...
You have brought up that W19 so many times so I had to spend some time reading his/her post in SDN... I am also a SDN member, but I am NOT W19... I repeat. I am NOT

Power? NP have more (or better ) scope of practice than PA in probably most (if not all) states of the union... Do you really expect a NP who works in oncology to have the same breath of knowledge...
