Background:
Postgraduate education for advanced practice providers (APPs) is a rapidly evolving field and includes residencies and fellowships designed to help narrow the gap between physicians and APPs. The current state of trauma APP postgraduate programs in the U.S. is unknown. The aim of this study is to identify the APP postgraduate programs in the U.S. dedicated to trauma training and to understand the baseline characteristics of these programs and their curriculums, including which technical skills and bedside procedures a trauma APP should be expected to perform.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study of all identifiable APP postgraduate programs in trauma surgery in the U.S. through June 2022. A survey tool designed to better understand training programs and curriculums was created. A web-based survey using Qualtrics was sent to the program directors of the identifiable trauma programs. Descriptive statistics were calculated as appropriate.
Results:
Eight programs were identified as primarily trauma training programs. Six programs completed the entire survey, and one program completed 50% of the survey. Programs vary in the number of graduates, clinical rotations, and educational curriculums, though all programs offer didactics and simulation curriculums for procedure skill development. Most programs are not accredited.
Conclusion:
This is the first study developed to understand the content and curriculums of postgraduate trauma programs for APPs. There are only a handful of programs dedicated to trauma training, and their educational offerings are diverse, with similarities across programs in expected procedural competency. There is a need for trauma programs to invest in and further standardize APP training.
Level Of Evidence:
IV.
