What is APTA?
APTA The Advanced Practitioner Training Academy (APTA) is a 13-week intensive program for newly graduated Advanced Practice Providers (Pas or NPs) who have recently joined Neighborhood Healthcare. The program includes interactive didactic sessions on various medical topics, supervised clinical practice with preceptors and shadowing specialists in fields critical to primary care medicine, such as psychiatry, women’s health, and urgent care.

Why is this important?
Neighborhood Healthcare serves a complex patient population. Newly graduated Advanced Practice Providers are offered postgraduate training to enhance their acclimation to our patient population. Upon joining, APPs must quickly adapt to the EMR system, manage patient messages and lab results, handle administrative tasks, and
interact with services like podiatry and chiropractic care.

The APTA program aims to:
• Enhance clinical expertise
• Improve communication with support staff
• Master system navigation to reduce stress and increase efficiency

Importance of Shadowing Specialists

Behavioral Health: General Medicine APPs frequently encounter patients with substance addiction and psychiatric issues. By shadowing psychiatrists, APPs in the
APTA program gain deeper insights into behavioral health topics, learn when to refer patients to specialists, and understand appropriate pre-referral diagnostics. This
training helps APPs confidently manage common conditions like depression and anxiety, including prescribing medications such as SSRIs.

Women’s Health: APPs learn to handle issues like abnormal uterine bleeding, contraceptive options, evaluation for common conditions like polycystic ovarian
syndrome, and hormone replacement therapy. The program also offers proctored training for APPs interested in IUD and subdermal contraceptive inserts and removals.

Urgent Care: In urgent care settings, APPs work with physicians skilled in point of care ultrasound, incorporating these valuable skills into their training and
practice.

Overall, APTA provides comprehensive training to equip APPs with the necessary skills and confidence to deliver high-quality care to Neighborhood Healthcare’s diverse patient population.
