Did you know that nurse practitioners can work in primary care and specialty care? Did you know that Centra employs four different kinds of advanced practice providers across our system?

In this episode of “& so much more,” our host Cami Smith sits down with Morgan McDowell, the Director of APP (Advanced Practice Provider) Education and a nurse practitioner at Centra Health to answer these questions and more. Together, they delve into the world of healthcare education and debunk some common misconceptions surrounding clinicians who are not doctors. 

Morgan, an APP herself, sheds light on the comprehensive education and training that Advanced Practice Providers undergo. From nurse practitioners to physician assistants, APPs play a vital role in healthcare delivery that is effective and patient centered. 

In their discussion, Cami and Morgan also help us to understand the extensive knowledge base and skills that APPs possess. Directly challenging the stereotypes often associated with non-physician caregivers, this conversation ultimately helps us to understand the vital role that these providers play in shaping the delivery of healthcare both now and into the future.
