DESCRIPTION:
One often touted response to increasing patient demand for neurology services is for departments to hire mid-level providers as ‘physician extenders’. Dr. Gretchen Tietjen (University of Toledo) and Dr. David Good (Penn State) will present different models for the use of mid-levels, and discuss the pros and cons of ‘physician extenders’ in an academic practice environment. The session will include ample time for open discussion and sharing of experience from all participants.
