Abstract
Transition to practice programs (also referred to as fellowship, residency, or postgraduate training programs) for nurse practitioners (NPs) are becoming more popular, especially in specialties such as dermatology. A nationwide shortage of dermatology clinicians, which had led to long appointment wait times and inadequate patient access to care, has led to more NPs practicing dermatology to help meet the demand for care. New graduate NPs may struggle in their transition to practice, and fellowship programs have been shown to support NPs as they transition from novice to expert. In this article, the University of Rochester Medical Center shares its experience in developing, implementing, and managing a postgraduate dermatology fellowship program for NPs.
