Abstract
The purpose of the Mentored Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant Award for
Workforce Expansion is to increase the supply of rheumatology healthcare providers to
better meet the needs of people with rheumatic diseases across the United States,
particularly in geographically underserved areas. Kentucky is underserved for
rheumatology providers. This award would provide resources and the framework of
knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed by an advanced practice provider, new to
rheumatology, to facilitate integration into a rheumatology practice under the
supervision of a board-certified rheumatologist. This award would further enable the
Division of Rheumatology to justify adding a fourth APP to the clinic, in order to meet
the demand for rheumatology referrals and reduce the wait for new patient
appointments.
