    This is a seriously dumb argument. Apparently these organizations don't that there are nonclinical training fellowships. Many of them have nothing to do with medicine. "Fellow" is a term that is more general than referring to just medical fellowships.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/hrh_approved/status/1301863883855011840 …

    Words matter. In the medical setting, *resident*, *residency*, *fellow*, and *fellowship* belong to physicians ONLY. ⬇️📃 Every EM physician, resident, & student should be paying attention to the battle on scope of practice. 🥼 That’s the tweet. https://www.emra.org/be-involved/be-an-advocate/working-for-you/post-grad-statement-pa-np/ … pic.twitter.com/Q181IOYW4l

        Moreover, I do agree that words matter. However, I also add that one doesn't get to define words or dictate how and where they are used in a manner that preserves their privilege, which is what is going on here.

        1. My husband's thesis supervisor, a wise woman, said MD = "Me Doctor." 2. ID doc discussing mom's labs to my husband, "Oh right, you know those big words because you used to work with lab techs." 3. PhD Imm/Medical Micro + 4-years as PDF in clinical labs at large US universities

        Just to throw fuel on the fire. Physical Therapists can also do residencies now so there is another area of medicine with residents!

        Pharmacy residencies are no joke. Most @ASHPOfficial accredited require long hours after rotations preparing presentations, research projects, “staffing” or on-call etc. Standardized to last a year, or two with specialization in a field... like emergency medicine. #PharmRes

        Is this whole “words matter” thing for doctors new, or is it that I am only just now seeing it? This seems like a variant of “its insulting to call us providers not doctors”, entirely pride based and absolutely nothing to do with patients.
