Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction Advanced practice providers (APPs) are increasingly utilized throughout the health care system. At present there is no nationally sanctioned curriculum for APPs providing Allergy & Immunology (A&I) care. Methods A nationwide gap analysis and targeted needs assessment was conducted to examine the current level of education/training of APPs in A&I. Results At present, training in A&I in NP/PA school is quite limited. The formal education and clinical training APPs receive at practice sites varies significantly with most APPs feeling only somewhat comfortable providing A&I care upon completion of their training period. Conclusions Results of a nationwide gap analysis and targeted needs assessment identify the need for providing education specific for A&I to APPs practicing in this field.
