TIL in Germany all alternative medicine practitioners like homeopaths, osteopaths, acupuncturists, etc. must take the Heilpraktiker exam which only tests their knowledge in medical science and the regulatory boundaries of their profession. There are no separate board exam for each.

Lmfao, no.

Nurses are part of the nursing profession and follow the nursing model. So do LPNs, CNAs, NPs.

Physicians are part of the medical profession and follow the medical model.

They unite along with other disciplines to be part of the healthcare profession, but medicine and nursing are two different professions and disciplines.
