Is there any evidence that _8_ years of post-secondary education (plus 3-7 years of residency at poverty wages) actually improves medical outcomes?
5 years could be plenty?

NPs are supervised, as are doctors on rotation, so it's 7 years before clinical practice for a doctor.
PAs might love to hear about that, since they’ve been lobbying about supervision.
Dozens (I gave up counting) of states have absolutely no supervision for NPs: https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/practice-and-career/ma... - they have full autonomy as providers.
Good! More should.
