if chiropractors want to be physicians they can just enroll and graduate from a four year school of osteopathic or allopathic medicine than do 3 more years or more of post graduate training Also PA now want to be called “Physician Associates” They are midlevel providers or Physician Assistants with 2000 hours of clinical training better than 500 hours of clinical supervised training by NP’s who in many states states can practice without physician overbite ( dangerous as I taught both PA’s and NP’s both need supervision oversight directly but due to lack of PCP’s Primary Care Physicians organizations can get three NP’s for price of one experienced physician. So cost factor not best medical practices are leading medical organizations to hire NP’s Most of the Medicare population is not aware of their lack of training and their diminished knowledge of medicine.
