44. Critical Partners: The Vital Roles of NPs and PAs in Critical Care

The critical care landscape is a dynamic one, filled with team members with all sorts of backgrounds who have various skill sets and experiences to bring to the table. In this episode of Critical Care Time we focus on the role NPs & PAs - sometimes referred to collectively as APPs - play in the ICU. To help us explore this we sat down with Gary Macy of Duke University a Critical Care NP in their Neuroscience ICU who has many years of experience working as an ICU NP. During our discussion we explored numerous topics such as the concerns regarding education, "turf wars" and what integrative models might best serve our patients.
