The barriers identified in the articles include state practice licensure issues, physician related issues, payer policy issues, and prescriptive issues (Hain, Fleck, 2014). These issues do not come as a surprise as physicians have dominated the medical field for a very long time. It is the same concept to the work field with male dominance and women fighting for equality. We have been living in a world that aims to maintain dominance, we are seeing it today in the financial world with the United States and their protectionist views by implementing trade tariffs. If we go all the way back in time, there has been wars and attempted genocides to ensure one’s beliefs dominate the world. So, for physician dominance to occur in the medical field is not a surprise to me. On the positive note, we do have organizations that fight for nurse practitioner equality in the medical field such as the American Association of Nurse Practitioner (Hain, 2014).

I believe these barriers are occurring naturally in a world that aims to maintain dominance. But we live in a time where change needs to occur, because the fact is we are short in primary care physicians in an aging population and a work force that will be reduced with baby boomers retiring, which will only add to the shortage in primary care physicians in a world where people are requiring more medical attention. The healthcare cost is also increasing at such a fast rate, where it will not be sustainable in the future. I believe these restraints will be resolved. The main driver of this resolution will be cost.
