You lost all credibility when you said mid levels. Just because they function in areas where physicians can’t or don’t care to function, doesn’t make their care mid level. For those who can’t get in to see a Dr. who no longer takes their insurance, there are others that will. When there are voids in the market, someone will fill it and demeaning the profession makes you look petty.

CRNA’s and NP’s carry malpractice insurance. CRNA’s actually provide nearly 85% of the anesthetics in the US. They are they ones sitting the stools and doing the cases. Their clinical training is in the same environment as their physician counterparts. Truthfully, I would rather a CRNA do my anesthesia because they do it every day.

mid level refers to their training level and standard of care. it is not demeaning, it is transparency. It is a level above the training a nurse gets but below a physician. it should not be demeaning unless youre ashamed to not be trained to the more rigorous standards to deliver higher quality care. you cant sidestep years of training and provide a lower quality of care and demand to be considered equivalent. that is pure nonsense.

you lose credibility when you suggest mid level is used to be demeaning because they do to cases docs dont want to do.

That's how they are referred to as a group. Mid-level providers was how they were once known, though I think the professional organizations of each now want them to be known as Advanced Practice Providers.
