Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Professional Associations

Background:

  • The American Urological Association (AUA) has faced challenges collaborating with advanced practice provider (APP) associations like the Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA).
  • Past collaborative efforts between the AUA and APP organizations have been unsuccessful, highlighting a need for a new strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define a path forward for the AUA to establish a mutually beneficial partnership with APP associations.
  • To assess the current landscape of APPs in urology and identify barriers to collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of AUA-commissioned surveys to determine APP numbers and procedures in urology.
  • Design and implementation of a contemporary survey on APP prevalence and engagement.
  • Direct engagement with Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA) leadership to gauge organizational interaction.

Main Results:

  • The 2017 AUA Census identified 172 APP respondents (physician assistants and nurse practitioners).
  • APPs highly value discounted products/services and professional pride; 87% of surveyed practices employ APPs.
  • Prior disagreements created a historical divide, hindering current discussions between the AUA and SUNA.

Conclusions:

  • The number and scope of APPs in urology remain undefined.
  • A lack of engagement and support from AUA members exists at both sectional and national levels.
  • The AUA should incentivize APP membership via certification, job opportunities, and board positions.
