Abstract
With a projection short fall of between 46,900 and 121,900 physicians in the health care workforce by 2032, who will fill the gap?1 One answer could be nurse practitioners (NPs). NPs are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who are prepared through advanced graduate education and clinical training to provide a range of health services, including the diagnosis and management of common as well as complex medical conditions to people of all ages. They hold advanced degrees, either an MSN (Master of Science in Nursing) or DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice), national certification in a patient population focus, and state APRN licensure. APRNs are helping to mitigate the effects of the national physician shortage by serving as primary care providers (PCPs).
