"Scope Creep" remains one of the most argued topics amongst healthcare providers. More specifically between MD/DO and PA/NP professionals.
However, if we're focused on the quality of patient care - I believe that there is a perfect balance for collaboration between an APP and Physician.
Listen to Eric Kingsley and Madison Loomis discuss some key points regarding scope creep. Eric is a Cardiothoracic and surgical PA in Florida who brings up excellent points surrounding how scope creep can impact patient outcomes, including his thoughts on continued education (Doctorate of Physician Assistant Studies) or how the disparity of primary care providers encourages APPs to practice independently, despite AMA legislation.
