National APP Week

A team of Advanced Practice leaders across the country are thrilled to coordinate National APP Week on the 4th week of September! National Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Week honors the contributions of Physician Assistants/Associates, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Midwives/Certified Nurse Midwives, and Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants. We recognize and celebrate providers who are certified and licensed to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage illnesses, prescribe medications, perform clinical procedures, and conduct clinical research in management of the whole individual. This important group of providers elevate the fields of medicine and nursing to ensure our patients and communities receive safe, high-quality, evidence-based care. We utilize this week to celebrate the hard work of these professionals and to raise awareness of their unique roles in healthcare.
