ObjectivesInclusion of advanced practice providers (APPs) in hospital-based pediatric otolaryngology has been growing rapidly, aligning with a 70% increase in physician assistants in all surgical subspecialties in recent years. A post-graduate training program is developed to reflect these growing and changing responsibilities. MethodsCurriculum development took place at one institution over eight years for 16 APPs following a standard Six Step Approach to medical curriculum: 1) Problem Identification and General Needs Assessment, 2) Targeted Needs Assessment, 3) Goals & Objectives, 4) Education Strategies, 5) Implementation, and 6) Evaluation and Feedback. This was integrated into an onboarding process for new hires and a continuing education plan for established providers. Gaps were identified throughout the process to improve education, skills required for competency, and readiness for independent practice. ResultsThe curriculum incorporated a subset of goals and objectives from the familiar resident curriculum with significant differences in orientation and onboarding. A Clinical Competency Checklist was used initially for feedback and later to support credentialing after completion of the curriculum. A Procedure Rating Form was used for feedback and documentation of the number of performances required for credentialing. Self-Assessment was utilized to further identify readiness for independence and tailor additional education to meet practice needs. ConclusionThe curriculum and onboarding process presented can be used for any advanced practice provider joining an individual or team of pediatric otolaryngology providers. A standardized curriculum is helpful to the supervisors and trainees. Further collaboration between institutions and development of benchmarks will help ensure excellence in education and in care of pediatric otolaryngology patients.
