Doctor not provider professional identity pushback

March 31, 2026Drew Moghanaki, Vincent Rajkumar

Drew Moghanaki and Vincent Rajkumar argue that calling physicians providers erases expertise and should be corrected whenever it appears.

That language flattens expertise into a transaction
Doctor, not provider.
We need to correct this misuse every time we hear it.
