      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

      This statement is seriously dumb. You do realize, don't you, that there are nonclinical training fellowships. Some of them have nothing to do with medicine. "Fellow" is a term that is more general than referring to just medical fellowships.🙄

      You do realize don’t you that she literally said “in the medical setting”

      There are also non-physcian residents/fellows in the medical setting. Graduates of doctoral programs. One might even consider them... doctors of their specialty. Not medical doctors, but still in $200K+ debt working 60-80+ hrs/wk for garbage pay. Sure sounds like residency

      Yet we aren't referring to them as "resident" or "fellow" in-front of the patient. Certainly not "doctor" either. If people are doing that, that's wrong. This is what "medical setting" means. Language matters, particularly for patients.

      Replying to @Avierr1 @angrymeds and

      Okay why? Why would it be wrong? Why isn't a graduate of a professional doctoral program worthy of the title doctor? It's right there on the degree in black and white. What actual reasoning is there that we can't have medical residents, pharmacy residents, dental residents, etc?

      The reasoning is that there are doctors who are such special snowflakes that they’re threatened by the use of the title “doctor” by a nonphysician because they’re protecting what they see as their turf. It’s just that simple.

          It's more then a few times I have seen mid-levels refer to themselves as "doctor" (or neglect to inform the patient who they are, letting them assume) then the patient assumes they were seen by a physician. Then they get upset when they find out they were not. Rightfully so.

          You're right. Clear communication of one's role on the healthcare team and practicing within scope of expertise is critical for proper patient care and building/maintaining trust. Any non-physcian posing as a physician/intentionally not clarifying is wrong and dangerous.

          This is about what patients deserve, and they deserve to know who is treating them. Unlike what you're claiming with your strawman. It doesn't matter what dental students, PhDs, PAs, NPs, etc. so forth want. What matters is that the patient deserves to know who is their doctor.

          Nah. It's about turf protection donning the mantle of claims that it's about protecting patients.🙄
