Physician extenders, such as Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs), play a pivotal role in modern healthcare, particularly in primary care settings. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they help bridge the gap in healthcare access, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery. With the increasing demand for primary care services, especially in underserved areas, NPs and PAs are essential in expanding healthcare access and addressing the shortage of primary care physicians. However, to maximize their contributions, it is crucial that NPs and PAs receive ongoing education and training to stay current with the latest medical advancements and guidelines.
Practicing Clinicians Exchange is excited to bring you the latest information about the 2023 PCE Primary Care Fall Symposia. PCE, the national leader in continuing education for Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs), is back this November with its virtual Fall Primary Care Symposia.
