Season 4, Episode 1: More than a Role: The Power of the Advanced Practice Community
Welcome to Season 4 of Pediatric Flow!
In this special Advanced Practice Provider Week episode of Pediatric Flow, Dr. Jolene Carlton, a pediatric nurse practitioner, explores the growing influence of advanced practice providers across healthcare. She highlights the expertise, leadership, and patient-centered perspective that nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse-midwives bring to their institutions and communities. Dr. Carlton also examines the rapid growth of the NP and PA professions, the importance of making APP leadership visible, and the challenges of continuing to advocate when change comes slowly. Ultimately, this episode is a call for stronger community, meaningful professional support, and greater recognition of APPs as essential leaders shaping the future of healthcare.
