How can a medical student hand out a doctor’s note?
a medical student whom is in residency is considered a doctor by the state, but he or she is not a full practicing doctor. the residency program requires the students to be supervised by a clinical professor so many of these medical excuses are bieing achieved by students whom have a clinical professor whom is overseeing them. But I have a difficult time with the issue that the clinical professor Hannah Keevlin is actually a student.
In 2000, I was a student at the University of wisconsin Madison for my Masters degree in Social Work (Counseling emphasis), I was able to utilize the services of the University Hospital called UW Health. My medical needs were attended by medical students whom were overseen by a professor.
Hope this helps with the understanding of medical attention can be addressed by a medical student - but the students could have some ramifications to there medical licensing. the medical doctors are not fully trained because they did not sign with their medical number issued through the National Provider (NPI) number it is 10 digit number. The number they are signing with is only the number issued by the state. this tells me that they are only students or residents. If they were to write a prescription the prescription would have their supervisors DEA number and would be in the medical doctor whom oversees them.
as a counselor I had to undergo 3000 hours prior to my license to be granted and I have an NPI number. whereby I can practice in any state in the union as amental health counselor
