Innovative training program for advanced practice providers in electrophysiology

Cardiac electrophysiology is a highly specialized field focused on the management of cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, rigorous training is required for advanced practice providers (APPs) to competently practice independently within the specialty. An in-depth, 12-month training curriculum was created...

description Cardiac electrophysiology is a highly specialized field focused on the management of cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, rigorous training is required for advanced practice providers (APPs) to competently practice independently within the specialty. An in-depth, 12-month training curriculum was created for electrophysiology in conjunction with a previously established APP Fellowship Program for the training of other complex subspecialties at an academic medical center. The Stanford Health Care Electrophysiology APP Fellowship Program is the first in the country to provide in-depth education and training for novice APPs to deliver high level care to patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The training program has proven to be successful in transitioning novice APPs to independent practitioners within the specialty since its inception in 2021.
