Advanced Practitioners Training Programs

Crossover episode!  Just like the time the Fonz was on Mork and Mindy, this episode brings the moderators of EAST's Traumacast, Dr. Dave Morris and Careercasts, Dr. Brad Dennis (we'll let you decide who is Mork and who is the Fonz) together. The topic is the training programs available for Adavanced Practitioners: the types of programs available, how the terms "residency" and "fellowship" are used, and what to look for in a reputable program. Guests Jon Messing and Aaron Pugh both run successful Advanced Practitioners training fellowships and are actively involved in developing these programs nationally. Both provide interesting insights into this aspect of trauma provider education.Websites referenced:Association of Post Graduate APRN ProgramsAssociation of Physician Assistant ProgramsAmerican Nurses Credentialing CenterNational Nurse Practitioner Residency & Fellowship Training ConsortiumEAST Fellowship Listings/Advanced Practitioners
