Process and timeline
APPs at ECU Health have opportunities to provide leadership in a variety of settings, helping to set the clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based practices for providing personalized, high-quality care. They serve on many committees and have an active voice through our Advanced Practice Council—a group of team members from various units and roles designed to support APPs system-wide. In addition to advocating for providers, the Council offers community outreach opportunities, access to continuing education and peer-to-peer training and a platform to recognize those who go above and beyond. For new team members, the Council offers a mentorship program to ensure that everyone, whether you are a new graduate or just new to the health system, has the support they need to find success.

“The APPs of ECU Health continue to elevate the fields of medicine and nursing to ensure our communities in eastern North Carolina receive high-quality, evidence-based care. I am so proud to be a part of the team and of the Office of Advanced Clinical Practice, which promotes and recognizes the hard work of these professionals and raises awareness for their unique roles in health care.”

“APPs are responsible for helping to build the care pathway that results in the most compassionate, efficient and cost-effective care for the patient. To achieve this, our APPs are given significant autonomy in our outpatient clinics, our inpatient care and our consultative services. In many cases, they run independent clinics both at our hospital associated clinic and at outreach sites, allowing them to practice at top of license.
The indelible impression that our APPs make on our patients and our practice, and their colleagues in general, makes them one of the reasons many of us choose to work here at ECU Health.”
