“Advanced practice nurses and physician assistants can and should play a much greater role in primary care than has been the case in the past,” the editorial said. The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Nursing will graduate 130 nurses per year, while the physician assistant program is being expanded in responses to the growing needs of physicians in the state.
“At the same time, we need to attract and graduate a higher percentage of qualified medical students who are strongly motivated to practice primary care and to provide a curriculum that nurtures their enthusiasm,” the editorial said. “This would facilitate recruitment of a greater percentage of Wisconsin’s 350 medical school graduates per year to primary care residencies.”
