=== Nursing & advanced practice nurses (APNs) === The [[American Medical Association]] (AMA), an [[advocacy group]] for [[Physician|physicians]], claims that increasing the scope of [[Advanced practice nurse|APNs]] does not increase access to care and can be dangerous because the responsibilities afforded to the professionals exceed the tasks that they can safely perform given their training, which is lower relative to physicians.<ref name=":0" /> However, according to the [[American Nurses Association]], it is important that nurses, including APNs, can practice to the fullest extent of their abilities and training; they claim that there is a growing body of evidence to support APNs caring for patients with broader scopes.<ref name=":2" />
