Introduction:
Advanced practice providers (APPs) are increasingly utilized throughout the health care system including in subspeciality practices.
Methods:
A nationwide preliminary gap analysis and targeted needs assessment was conducted to examine the current onboarding/clinical training experiences of APPs in Allergy & Immunology (A&I).
Results:
At present, training in A&I in NP/PA school is typically limited. The onboarding/clinical training APPs receive at practice sites upon entering A&I varies with most APPs feeling only somewhat comfortable providing A&I care upon completion of their training period.
Conclusions:
Results of a nationwide gap analysis and targeted needs assessment identify the need for further education specific for APPs in A&I and consideration of standardization of the onboarding process at clinical practice sites.
