Development and Accreditation of an Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship at an Acute Care Pediatric Hospital
Advanced practice providers (APPs) are essential to the care of patients in a complex health care system. There are a multitude of graduate education programs available for advanced practice in the field of pediatrics. Newly graduated APPs often have a long lead time to full productivity and limited exposure to subspecialties before practice entry. This requires onboarding and training to introductory advanced practice that is often time-consuming and not satisfying to preceptors. Additionally, this model forces a newly hired APP in the field of pediatrics to choose a subspecialty without certainty of clinical practice within the environment to which one is committing.
