Transition to Practice for APPs
Develop the competencies and practical skills you need to optimize your performance. Learn how our virtual residency can help you transition to practice and thrive in your role.
What is Transition to Practice?
Transition to practice (TTP) is the the period of time when NPs and PAs develop the skills, competencies and the practical knowledge necessary to optimally transition into practice.
A transition to practice program, sometimes referred to as an NP residency, is a solution to help providers with didactic knowledge and skill development in a supportive clinical environment. TTP programs help facilitate application of what providers learned in school to real world clinical practice.

What Providers Are Saying
The ThriveAP program was helpful clinically with excellent presentations that were pertinent for my first year. More than that, the relationships that were built were my saving grace. Being a new NP I was able to come to my Class Leader and the others and voice my frustrations, victories, and insecurities and I was heard. I would recommend this program for NP’s just starting out or returning to the workforce.
