APP Insights - Panel Discussion

Overview

Join an engaging panel of experienced nurse practitioners and physician associates as they discuss real-world clinical challenges unique to advanced practice providers in primary care. Through candid conversation and case-based examples, the panelists will explore how they approach complex or ambiguous scenarios—when guidelines don’t offer a clear path, when patient preferences conflict with evidence, or when team dynamics influence decision-making. You’ll gain practical strategies for applying sound clinical judgment, maintaining efficiency without compromising quality, and working collaboratively to deliver optimal patient care.
