Thanks, Duneranger, for chiming in. Commenting on "diagnose and treat," I would add, that leads to good patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. Titles and degrees are not part of the equation that "really matters" in healthcare delivery. In the over 25 years of healthcare delivery, I really don't remember ever being asked by my patients where I went to school or what degree I hold. Colleagues don't seem to care. It really comes down to patient outcomes!

Regarding training, I recommend a hospital-based university with a hybrid or on-campus program. I had zero problems obtaining solid clinical rotations. You really can't beat the talent and resources this type of program offers.

Yeah I actually did a post-grad fellowship (3750 more clinical hours) which was helpful. None of the MDs asked if I had a DNP and I just did my own thing. No patient's ever asked or cared either.

My program was in-person at a state school.
