The work of the Advanced Practice Provider Council is guided by a President and Vice-President, with oversight from the Executive Administrator of APPs. The APP President, Vice-President, and Secretary are elected annually for one-year terms.
Together, the Executive Council establishes the monthly agenda and holds meetings aligned with UVA Shared Governance bylaws to inform and engage the greater APP body.
Most importantly, the council identifies key APP priority areas and develops actionable plans in alignment with strategic priorities identified by UVA Health, UVA Medical Center, University Physicians Group, and APP members across the health system.
Our Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Committees are comprised of Genetic Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Audiologists, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Certified Nurse Midwives, and Physician Assistants/Associates.
This group of clinicians provides leadership and guidance for APPs within UVA Health’s Center for Advanced Practice, focusing on improving systems, processes, and the overall practice of APPs.
Their key functions and responsibilities are centered around advocacy and representation, practice improvement, education and training, credentialing and certification, collaboration and communication, staffing and scheduling, policy development, research and evidence-based practice, and professional development.
