Advanced Practice Provider Onboarding: An Academic Teaching Institution's Experience

Abstract

With the robust growth in demand for advanced practice providers (APPs), employers must focus on strategies to promote recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction. The authors describe the creation, development, and sustainability of an APP onboarding program to support the initial transition for providers into their new roles within an academic healthcare organization. Advanced practice provider leaders coordinate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to ensure new-hire APPs are equipped with the necessary tools for a successful start.
