Last June, the American Medical Association proposed creating the registered care technologist to ease the nursing shortage. There are similarities to the creation of physician assistants 25 years ago. Given the present PA shortage, the PA profession should note how medicine is solving the nursing crisis and take steps to increase enrollment in PA programs, lest a new provider be created to supplement PA roles.
去年6月，美国医学协会提议设立注册护理技师，以缓解护理人员短缺的问题。这与25年前医师助理的设立有相似之处。鉴于目前医师助理短缺的情况，医师助理行业应注意医学领域是如何解决护理危机的，并采取措施增加医师助理项目的招生人数，以免设立新的医疗服务提供者来补充医师助理的角色。
