Investing in the transition of APPs to practice, Part 1

Advanced Practice Providers, or APPs, have taken on an increasingly important role in patient care over the years. Comprised of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, APPs receive advanced education and clinical training for performing a wide range of care services, many of which were traditionally carried out by physicians. Yet, there are no residencies or fellowships to transition APPs from the academic to the clinical realm. On the next two episodes, this award-winning podcast examines how organizations and practices can address this gap.
