In the latest issue of Hopkins Medicine magazine, there's a column in there about an NP named Monica VanDongen.
Here are some direct quotes from the article:
"the young woman is unique: VanDongen is a nurse practitioner who completed a one-year, intensive medical fellowship in gastroenterology."
"its reasonable to raise the number of capable providers for the procedure" (quote by Anthony Kalloo, MD, director of GI division.
"departmental reviewers are so pleased with the new venture with Hopkins School of Nursing that two more fellows are in training"
Un****inbelievable. Here's Anthony Kalloo's profile page: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/awomansjourney/profiles/kalloobio.html
Email him and ask him how much the school of nursing is paying him to sell out his field. Also ask him to explain how an NP doing scopes in one of the most doctor-concentrated urban centers in the country is really providing a service to "underserved" communities. Its a total crock of ****.
I hope the real MD GI fellows understand that there will be nurses joining their programs as "fellows" too.
what a joke.
