Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Fellowship

The mission of the APP Fellowship Program at Seattle Children’s is to support newly graduated APPs or APPs with limited pediatric experience, in successfully entering their practice in a complex, highly collaborative pediatric setting. This one-year program will build on graduate academic training to strengthen and develop skills in a variety of domains critical to successful practice.

Seattle Children’s has a diverse and often complex patient population. There are over 400 APPs working in a variety of pediatric specialties and subspecialties, including inpatient; ambulatory clinics; diagnostic and surgical areas; critical care; ED; and urgent care. Learning opportunities include hands-on patient care and formal and informal didactic opportunities.
