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?

Working at a community clinic I can tell you that you will rarely see a MD working in any setting other than seeing primary patients on a scheduled basis. Even then it’s months out before you can see your Dr.
Clinics are always busy and are just behind ER’s as far as wait times. You won’t see a doctor here. Only Nurse practitiners or Physician Assistants.
It’s just the way the world is now.
