Abstract
AbstractAs the infectious disease (ID) workforce encounters increasing demand for services with fewer physicians entering the field, advanced practice providers (APPs) in infectious disease offer a unique ability to enhance high‐quality patient care. However, little is known about their incorporation into ID, their utilization in immunocompromised settings, or their future use. This article reviews currently known data on APPs in ID including how some groups have used APPs and provides a framework for thoughtful, deliberate steps to incorporate APPs into the ID medical team, including transplant infectious disease. Highlighted specifically are education and mentorship opportunities with ideas for curriculum development and onboarding approaches. Strategic steps must be taken for APP inclusion as the medical landscape continues to change, patient complexity increases, and the ID team of the future takes shape.
