Summary
A structured onboarding program for advanced practice providers (APPs) in gastrointestinal (GI) surgical oncology enhances patient care quality, APP job satisfaction, and retention. The GI Surgical Oncology APP Onboarding Tool (GISOAPP-OT) offers a standardized 12-month process.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Advanced Practice Provider Education
Background:
- Advanced practice providers (APPs) are integral to gastrointestinal (GI) surgical oncology teams.
- Effective onboarding is crucial for APP job satisfaction, retention, and patient care quality.
- A lack of standardized onboarding resources for APPs in GI surgical oncology exists.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive and standardized onboarding process for APPs in GI surgical oncology.
- To address the need for structured training in complex cancer care environments.
- To create the GI Surgical Oncology APP Onboarding Tool (GISOAPP-OT).
Main Methods:
- The GI surgical oncology APP team identified key components for a structured onboarding program.
- Development of a standardized process including competencies, education, evaluation, and mentorship.
- Creation of a 12-month onboarding tool (GISOAPP-OT).
Main Results:
- A comprehensive 12-month onboarding tool, the GISOAPP-OT, was developed.
- The tool provides a standardized process for APP training in GI surgical oncology.
- The GISOAPP-OT is adaptable for other surgical specialties.
Conclusions:
- The GISOAPP-OT standardizes and augments APP training in complex cancer care.
- This tool supports improved quality of care, APP satisfaction, and retention.
- The onboarding process can be tailored to various surgical specialties.

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...
