Urology outpatient procedures by physician associates and nurse practitioners
This analysis of mostly older Americans receiving urological care illustrates a broadening scope of practice for PAs and NPs in this specialty. The results exemplify team-based care and the economic principle of task transfer in urology. This shift in ambulatory proceduralist roles occurred as the demand for urological care increased while the supply of urologists lagged.
