Here’s something I’ve never understood. What’s the difference between a NP and PA? I’ve seen both, the former for acute bronchitis the later post op after knee surgery.
Do they receive different medical training?

NP = nurse that went back for more training to be NP. These days most do it online.
PA = 3 year program similar to med school but less intense. They will do hospital rotations along with MD students
In general PAs are much more competent than NPs in my experience but a lot of outliers both ways,
