Advanced Practice Center
Advanced Practice Providers at Akron Children's
Advanced Practice Providers at Akron Children’s are integral in providing exceptional access and family/patient care. APPs work in many areas and departments of the Akron Children’s network including primary and acute care, inpatient and outpatient settings, and sub-specialties in locations stretching from Beachwood to Marietta.
Akron Children’s continues to increase their commitment to increasing access to care by investing in more Advanced Practice Providers every year.
The Advanced Practice Center, consisting of the director, education coordinator and administrative secretary is a resource for APPs guiding a thorough onboarding and orientation process, and provides continuing education opportunities such as conferences and fellowships as well as professional development opportunities for both new and established APPs. Ensures all regulatory, credentialing and clinical standards are consistent with laws governing advanced practice in the state of Ohio.
Events
Each year the APP Center in conjunction with APP Council sub-committees hosts two conferences: APRN/PA Pediatric Updates in Clinical Practice and APRN/PA Pediatric Pharmacology Conference. Each conference usually offers 7 hours of continuing education credit.
