Focused on facilitating successful transitions to practice and enabling APRNs/PAs to immerse themselves in specialty practice settings, Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Advanced Practice (AP) Fellowship program provides post-graduate clinical and educational experiences.
Within a protected learning environment, the fellowship prepares the new graduate or an experienced APRN/PA to provide quality, evidence-based patient care within a diverse and complex healthcare environment. The core fellowship curriculum will include evidence-based and practice-based learning, quality outcome identification and measurement, leadership and practice model development, organizational enculturation, and professional development. The practice-specific curriculum will include direct patient care, simulation training, and didactic courses on topics related to the patient population.
Fellows are expected to be engaged and active participants in their educational journey and will evaluate their progress through collaborative appraisals and self-reflection and identify and resolve educational and experiential gaps.
Program Goals:
- Provision of a focused learning experience that enables the APRN/PA to develop and refine essential specialty-specific clinical and critical thinking skills promoting top-of-license practice
- Immersion into an environment of collaborative multidisciplinary care that assures cost-effective, quality, patient-centered care
- Expanded incorporation of evidenced-based practice into care and utilization of improvement processes to enhance quality and care delivery processes
