Advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants are integral members of our medical staff at Akron Children’s and participate in a comprehensive transition to practice experience upon hire. Whether you are an experienced clinician starting in a new environment, or a new graduate starting in your first provider role, the transition to practice can be overwhelming. Advanced Practice Providers receive specialty-specific clinical orientation throughout their initial 90 days and a Clinical Orientation Pathway.
Ongoing educational needs are assessed routinely to drive educational offerings provided by the Office of Advanced Practice including the APRN/PA Pediatric Updates in Clinical Practice Conference every spring, and the APRN/PA Pediatric Pharmacology Update every fall.
