Hiring Advanced Practice Providers is only the beginning. Developing and retaining them requires a workforce strategy.
ThriveAP helps healthcare organizations build stronger APP workforces through structured transition-to-practice programs, specialty education and ongoing professional development.
Recognizing leadership and growth behind ThriveAP’s mission to elevate the healthcare team.
Advanced Practice Providers are essential to the future of healthcare delivery. But recruitment alone isn’t enough.
Organizations need a strategy for every stage of the APP journey—so clinicians have the support they need to succeed, grow and stay.
Attract the right
APP talent
Support a successful
transition to practice

and confidence

roles and populations
Create a culture of
growth and belonging
Give new APPs the structured support they need to move from training into clinical practice with greater knowledge, confidence and readiness.
Help APPs develop the specialized clinical knowledge and skills required for the roles and patient populations they serve.
Support APPs beyond onboarding with continued opportunities to strengthen their capabilities and grow throughout their careers.
Create a more consistent approach to APP development across teams, locations and specialties—rather than relying solely on informal or highly variable onboarding and training.
ThriveAP is helping healthcare organizations across the country rethink how they prepare, develop and support their APP workforce.
”“APPs are essential to the future of healthcare delivery. Health systems have an opportunity to think much more intentionally about how they develop this workforce—not simply how they recruit it.”
