ITT: Random guy on the internet figuratively sh*ts on primary care by saying it can be done by anyone right out of medical school if they can pass Steps 1-3.
The only reason I'm replying to this thread again is because that's a really disrespectful thing to say. I applied to primary care this year. And I don't think badly of DO's. They have a slightly different curriculum and exam system and they do OMM. I wasn't interested in that. Wouldn't mind learning a bit of it at this point, but that doesn't matter now.
Essentially, the regulatory boards are saying nurses and physician assistants can study for 2 or 3 years and then be licensed... Why not someone who studied for 4... and I was using that completion of the total exam series to further the argument for being qualified without a reasonable doubt whatsoever to start pgy-1.
But it's ok. your contradiction is still unfounded.
