What is an advanced practice provider manager?

An Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Manager is a healthcare professional responsible for overseeing teams of advanced practice providers, such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). They manage staffing, scheduling, professional development, and ensure providers adhere to clinical standards and policies. APP Managers also help coordinate patient care, implement best practices, and may be involved in hiring, training, and performance evaluations. Their goal is to support APPs in delivering high-quality patient care while maintaining efficient clinical operations.
