As one of the fastest-growing teams at Cleveland Clinic, we believe it’s important that our APP careers are developed and guided by leaders who have their own personal experiences in the roles. As a part of our APP family, you’ll find a structure that’s unique in the industry. Most of our APPs learn from, report to and are guided by APP leaders — those who will help identify your interests and goals, as well as plan for opportunities to change specialties or work settings. All within the Cleveland Clinic healthcare system.
APP Transition to Practice Program
APP Transition to Practice Program
This learning and development program, created specifically for our newly employed APP caregivers, is designed to refine the skills and knowledge of both new graduates and experienced providers interested in changing specialty areas. We use blended, faculty-led learning methods to prepare caregivers to drive their careers forward and take on new challenges confidently. Organized by a range of learning modules from Didactics to Procedure Labs, this program is available in conjunction with our onboarding process, and available to all of our new full-time APP caregivers.

More ways to learn and grow
We think it’s important for our caregivers to develop their networks and build skills that go beyond their clinical roles as well. As a part of our APP family, you’ll also find opportunities to get involved in committees and projects that impact not only your department, but the entire organization.
For instance, our Office of Nursing Research and Innovation, led by one of our CNSs, is a chance to tap into and gain exposure to the variety of research underway at any given time. In 2021, our APRN Council began a new program that focuses on professional growth through four different pathways — research, leadership, quality and education. And our Office of PA Services provides additional opportunities for participating in committees, workshops, leadership and professional growth.
We’ve been recognized by Forbes/Statista as one of “America’s Best Employers, 2021.” Learn more about how we’re focused on what matters most.
