Season 2 - Episode 07 - Healthcare's Alphabet Soup
There’s no "I" in team, and technically, there’s also no "I" in MD, PA, RNP, AAP, etc… But it takes each of these to build out a modern healthcare system’s team-based approach to serving a community. So, who and what are they?
It’s likely that you’ve been seen by a PA or an NP at some point, and there’s a growing number of them in our clinics and hospitals every day. How do they differ from an MD? What types of care do they provide? And should you feel confident being seen by one? In Episode 7, Dr. Hilden (MD, MPH, FACP… Yep, more letters...) and guest Meghan McCoy (PA-C), the Director of Advanced Practice Providers at Hennepin Healthcare, help clarify these titles and what they actually mean. They explain the training and skills behind each role, where you might encounter them, and how the team functions as a whole. It's healthcare's alphabet soup on Episode 7 - join us!
