Current Projects


Research and Writing Initatives
The advanced practice role is constantly evolving to meet changing healthcare needs, expanding to include more responsibilities for providers such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants. This shift is driven by the need for increased access to healthcare and the shortage of primary care physicians. Advanced practice providers are playing a vital role in bridging this gap and ensuring patients receive quality care promptly. Ongoing education and training are essential to staying current with the latest healthcare advancements.
