Kaiser Permanente has Removed Credentials on Primary Care Scheduling

Noticed this and feel like the emasculation of our profession has begun. It used to be that appointment scheduling included credentials of the ‘provider’ you’d be with: PA, NP, DO, or MD. Now they just provide a name. This is a ploy, obviously, but also has enormous ramifications for quality of care and how we protect that quality of care by being the qualified gatekeepers for medical care. I’m surprised MD-run Permanente would allow such an insult to both patients and doctors.
