Not sure which flair to use but I was wondering what the difference between the two is. I understand the academic background is different but if both can diagnose, prescribe, and treat patients, what’s the difference in terms of scope of practice?

Doctor : Nurse Practitioner :: university professor : kindergarten teacher
Can a university professor teach kindergartners? Probably, but they’d quickly get overwhelmed with all the hassle of managing kids, and can’t put their specialist knowledge to use.
Can a kindergarten teacher teach a college level course? Probably, but that depends on how good they are as an individual, their professional training hasn’t prepared them to teach college courses, and so they will be out of their depth very soon.
