If MD’s want to talk about “scope of practice” they’d better get a look at this. AI “qualifying as a practitioner” & prescribing meds.

One of the big problems facing hashtag#HigherEd is that our executive leaders, like all of us, were taught that the only relational model available to us is that of parasitism. hashtag#Parasitism is when one organism is helped and the other is harmed. Our socioeconomic system is built on the ability to convince people that this is the only option available to us. If you get something, I must lose something. But the natural world (which we're actually a part of!) tells us the truth. hashtag#Mutualism is when BOTH organisms are helped. It exists all around us. We can BOTH benefit. We can create, cultivate, and protect spaces of mutual benefit. The leaders who operate solely on the idea that their faculty/staff must be controlled so that they don't "take advantage" are limiting their options to parasitism. That model is clearly straining at the seams. It won't hold. How many more reports do we need to read about collapsing employee well-being to realize this? Leaders who, for example, encourage their teams to establish and protect their hashtag#ScopeOfPractice, for the good of themselves, their students, their communities, and the institution, are opening themselves up to the option of mutualism. This is the way forward toward a better future for all. hashtag#Leadership hashtag#Biomimicry

Thoughts on #HigherEd #Leadership, #ScopeOfPractice, and yet another report on collapsing employee #WellBeing. #Biomimicry is learning FROM the natural world and offers us a path forward.

Evidence shows midwife-led care and nurse-led care models are working, giving people access to care where and when they need it. It's time to enable nurses and midwives to work to their full capacity.

Scope of clinical practice should be constrained by skill and experience, but not by access to knowledge. Care pathways democratise local clinical knowledge.

I wonder if an indication of "first generation student" is not knowing what they're qualified to do and not knowing what they're responsible for.

Like, "Can you develop a #HigerEd student #ScopeOfPractice?"
first gen: sorry, what?
continuing generation: sure

Thinking this morning about how the scope of practice model might be useful for students too. What would a #HigherEd student's #ScopeOfPractice include? 🧐

I'm sadly missing this due to vacation, but I'm always trying to practice and model healthy boundaries, so the vacation had to come first. But I know y'all are in even better hands with Peter and Emily!
