The Case for Continuing Education
Why APRN/PA Professionals Are Investing in Advanced Credentials
Full Practice Authority
NPs have full practice authority in 27 states and DC — but the remaining states still restrict NP practice, creating an urgent need for policy advocates within the profession.
Mental Health Crisis
The U.S. has a shortage of 250,000 mental health providers. NPs and PAs with psychiatric credentials are among the most sought-after clinicians in the country.
Hospital Medicine Growth
APP utilization in hospital medicine has grown 300% in the past decade, with health systems actively recruiting NPs and PAs for inpatient and ICU roles.
Business Skills Gap
Over 70% of NPs and PAs report that they received no training in practice management, billing, or business operations during their graduate programs.
