sas5814 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I haven't seen the term physician extender used in a long long time....until today. I received a years worth of peer review charts (due immediately even though they were 10 months over due before I received them) and the name of the form? Physician Extender- Mid Level Peer Review. I answered that I couldn't help them because I'm not a physician extender and I don't know what one is. I'll probably be in trouble but if we don't stand up every time this happens how does anything change?

Cideous Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not sure which is worse....Assistant, Associate or Extender? They are all equally uninformed and a hinderance to the profession. Practitioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photograph51 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have a supervising physician who likes to use that term, because it makes it seem like the other medical providers only exist for him. It's a great term for a physician with a huge ego to use, but it is an annoying and inaccurate term for everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
