Read this on a PT's blog recently:
"I suppose my angst in this post is truly directed at intra-professional degradation. Physical rehab professionals are the only group in healthcare that I see overtly bash on their new colleagues for graduating with shiny degrees. So many other professions couldn't be happier that their new-grad-colleagues are receiving higher degrees that more accurately reflect where the profession has been, should be, and is going to be. However, our profession seems to have tolerance to those who behave from the view point that "doctor" is giving new-grads far more credit than they deserve."
I'm not making any claims for or against this statement for now, but I certainly think he has a point. I would love to hear some opinions and get some reasons why people think this phenomenon may or may not actually be the case, if anyone has any.
