Do you think “mid-level provider” is an accurate term or an insult?

In the September issue, we published an editorial entitled “I Am a Nurse Practitioner, NOT a Mid-Level Provider,” in which author Alison Moriarty Daley provided an argument against this phrase. We asked our online reading community what they think about “mid-level provider.”

• 17% accepted mid-level provider as an accurate term
• 50%agreed with Ms Daley that it is an insult
• 33% didn’t think it mattered since nobody knows what the term means
