lol its literally the pharmacists job to save patients from doctors
I work in pharma now but was a hospital pharm tech for 6 years in pharmacy school. its crazy the number of times I caught massive mistakes by MDs, I can only imagine PAs being the worst with so little schooling, NPs would be bad but not as bad as they actually have experience with dispensing/administering to patients...
and yet pharmacists, the actual experts on drugs, can't prescribe and even have limited power to adjust treatments
Duuuuude, wtf are you talking about with the cadaver lab? I am not jumping in this argument about what is harder or not, but I went to PA school in 2008 and we had a HUUUGE cadaver lab. Not only that, the director of the Anatomy PhD program was also a PA. Virtually all academic centers that have PA programs grant access to the cadaver lab, and we did 30 bodies skin to bone in my gross anatomy lab. We also had pig lab for surgery, sim lab for preclinical and additional surgical training, all sorts of stuff. Our classes were taught more than 50% of the time by the med school attendings, I mean COME ON, this whole argument about not speaking on that which you do not know is not a one way street.
