Abstract:
Advanced practice providers (APPs) are key members of the gastrointestinal (GI) surgical oncology team. For newly hired APPs, a comprehensive onboarding program provides guidance to help improve the quality of care provided to patients, as well as APP job satisfaction and retention. There is currently limited information on the components of a structured onboarding program for APPs in GI surgical oncology. The GI surgical oncology APP team identified the need to develop a standardized process with established competencies, education, evaluation, and mentorship. The development of the GI Surgical Oncology APP Onboarding Tool (GISOAPP-OT) provides a comprehensive, 12-month onboarding process that can be adapted for any surgical specialty to standardize and augment training in a complex cancer care environment.
