This is beyond disrespectful to the entire APP profession. They are ADVANCED practioners who have the same medical and surgical capabilities of any physician. If I were the Mayo PD I would not accept ANY applicants that interviewed on your day since the risk is too high a toxic personality such as yourself would enter the program.

This claim "same medical and surgical capabilities of any physician" is wrong. Are you saying 4 years of med school and 7 years of neurosurgery +/- fellowship is the same as 2-3 years NP/PA school? I disagree with the original OP, but you are also SO wrong. Instead of comparing to each other and making a false claim, let just appreciate each other and work as a team. We all have our own training background, expertise, and experience, let's stop with the comparison.

This "I would not accept ANY applicants that interviewed on your day" is also a false proposal. Why are other applicants being punished for one person's ignorance? What if you are one of them? I would expect you to propose otherwise. Don't be selfish.

Being a "team player" goes both ways. I consider it very disrespectful of physicians for NPs and PAs to use the title "Fellow" for themselves when they aren't doing the same work or making the same sacrifices that physicians have to make to earn that title. What kind of ego do you have to have to claim a title that you didn't invest the time or effort to earn? 

I do not blame a residency applicant for wondering why their limited time on interview day is being taken up by interviewing with someone who doesn't actually know what it is like to a neurosurgery resident. Anything a neurosurgery PA would have to say about the education or workflow in the department could easily be addressed by an actual neurosurgery resident (a resident physician, I mean, not an NP or PA calling themselves a "resident").

They literally talked to fifteen physicians. Fifteen.

It is the way Mayo Clinic structure their interviews. If you don’t like it, feel free to not rank them. They would appreciate it as well. Obviously you won’t fit in with what their value is.

Sorry, all PAs/NPs/DOs/MDs/non-academics please return your "Fellow" title. Academia would like you not to use it since you haven't made the same sacrifices that academics made to earn that title in the first place and we got there first. There is also a recycling bin for your ego by the door too. xx

Personally, I’d rather be interviewing with the ICU charge nurses, ED attendings, scrub techs, and baristas at Starbucks. You know, the people that are actually going to make or break your experience on a daily basis. “Making the same sacrifices” bro get the fuck over yourself. Residency training is not only about you.

Agreed. Don't understand the hate on this forum. The PAs have a ton of insight into the resident cohort and the way the service is run. Can I retroactively have that interview spot?

Also surprised how well trafficked this ridiculous website it
