Credential Creep
#1
A couple of weeks ago, I found out that dietitians will soon need a master's degree. There are now six entry-level master's programs for respiratory therapists, and this is a job that only requires an associate's degree. However, USPHS requires at least a bachelor's degree. I know that nurse practitioners will soon need a doctorate. I believe the occupational therapy field is also pushing to require a doctorate. 

Honestly, I don't think occupational therapists and physical therapists need doctoral degrees. Their work is not that complicated. They aren't performing surgery, making compex diagnoses, writing prescriptions, or treating mental illnesses. Not too long ago, they only needed a bachelor's degree.
