Fair point @roethlisburger . In my state it is a year of residency, but able to call self Dr. after med school. The NP continues to train as well and is expected to have a mentor for the first couple of year. Continuing ed requirements in my state are the same for the physician as the NP. I will make the argument we are all always learning.
@“aunt bea” I don’t think you “started” anything. The discussions here have been civil and I am happy to be able to discuss the NP role. Again, I won’t call myself “Dr” in the clinic as I try to let my practice speak for itself. A title isn’t important.
