CHP APP Fellowship Mentor and Preceptor Orientation

May 18, 2023

This program reviews what is necessary of mentors  involved in the fellowship.

CHP has robust APP Fellowship program. The Fellowship program requires physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to server as mentors and preceptors for the new APP Fellow. Ensuring that preceptors and mentors receive routine training ensures that APPs fellows are receiving high quality training and mentorship from staff/faculty. Without adequate support for the APP fellow we will not be able to be as effective recruiting top APP talent and retaining the staff once they receive the appropriate and necessary training to be successful.
