Midlevel benefit?

Do any of you see any BENEFIT to working with mid level providers? I am an NP, which I know is not popular in this group. I went to a 3 year in person program after 6 years of bedside nursing at a level 1 trauma center. I now work in a specialty outpatient clinic. Every single physician in my group is exceedingly grateful and welcoming to our PAs and NPs because they know we improve access to care and because they get to focus on more complex cases. They not only trust us to ask for help when we need it, they actually take the time to teach when these opportunities present. I understand that different settings require different skill sets, I do not claim to be a physician nor do I want to be.

I am genuinely curious, do any of you enjoy working with midlevels? What do you think separates a good midlevel from a subpar midlevel? What do you believe is the best way to utilize APPs in the current landscape of our healthcare system?
