Why are medical schools completely ignoring scope creep?

[coconutlover]

Literally no one is talkin about this in medical school. It is so so scary. If you shadow people in hospital, talk to hospital execs (coffee talks), its pretty apparent people see midlevels as the future. They do sooooo much work doctors do. And you see articles like this: Norway exchange students see nursing in new light

this country is unique in how much we utilize midlevels, and we will 100% export this.

Are people really going to promote cognitive medicine/primary care on such a high level in medical school and completely ignore how completely overrun midlevels are in it. Our system is not compatible with midlevels! There is no quality assurance since its volume based. You just get the money regardless of expertise. Expertise does not matter because these insurance systems cannot accurately measure expertise.

Because med schools job is to teach you the basics of being a doctor. That's more than enough to be getting on with.

They also don't teach you billing/coding, politics of medicine, practice laws, malpractice cases, or any of a number of things that physicians in the real world deal with because they're too busy teaching you the fundamentals of medicine.

MIdlevels haven't overrun primary care so you can stop with the hysterics. We're doing just fine.
