So yes more primary care professionals will be needed and we will see more and more PA's and NP's taking on alot of the that responsibility. I dont see this as a reduction in the quality of care but an increase in the efficiency in care. I see this as a needed "level" in the medical profession. Realistically there is no need for an MD to come in spend 30 minutes with someone to tell the they have strep throat, an ear infection, some virus, etc.


Excellent points here.
