Article Abstract
Objectives: Newly graduated NPs and physician associates/assistants (PAs) benefit from transition to practice (TTP) support to move successfully into practice. TTP programs (such as onboarding programs, fellowships, and residencies) hold promise for improving workforce outcomes. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe the literature regarding NP/PA TTP programs.
Methods: Using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, a specific approach for systematically conducting reviews, publications from January 1990 to May 2022 were included if they addressed fellowships, residencies, or onboarding programs for NPs or PAs. Final data extraction involved 216 articles.
Results: The pace of publication increased over time, with a noticeable increase since 2015. Articles were most commonly about fellowships or residencies, NPs, and programs set in nonrural, acute care US settings and in academic health centers.
Conclusions: A gap exists in our understanding of onboarding programs and programs focusing on PAs, as well as TTP support in rural and primary care settings. In addition, few articles assess TTP program outcomes such as benefits and costs. This review describes the need for more published literature in these areas.

There has been substantial growth of Advanced Practice Practitioners (APPs) in health care since their inception in the 1960's with APPs providing high quality and cost-effective care in a variety of medical settings. While most of the growth is in primary care, APPs are becoming increasingly leveraged in subspeciality care including Allergy & Immunology (A&I). At present there is limited literature on APPs in A&I specifically but there is growing literature on APP utilization and training in other specialties.

Background And Objective: Float nurses are frequently assigned to unfamiliar settings where they must perform a wide range of tasks, often without prior orientation, specific training, or knowledge of local protocols and equipment. Given the widespread use of floating as a staffing strategy, it is essential to allocate resources that support their integration while prioritising patient safety. This study aimed to develop a self-administered Integration Checklist for float nurses, highlighting key aspects to address before delivering direct patient care.

Introduction: Carers of people with non-memory-led dementias such as posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) face unique challenges. Yet, little evidence-based support and guidance are available for this population. To address this gap in services, we have developed a novel, web-based educational programme: the Better Living with Non-memory-led Dementia programme (BELIDE).

Introduction: Advanced practice providers (APPs), including physician assistants and nurse practitioners, benefit from structured onboarding curricula as they transition into specialty practice. These programs aim to enhance evidence-based knowledge, clinical skills, and core competencies, ultimately improving provider competency and health care quality. This scoping review seeks to map the existing literature on specialty-focused APP onboarding practices and identify knowledge gaps.

Over the past decade, there has been a robust increase in the number of Physician Assistant/Associate (PA) Programs operating in the United States. Curriculum design and construction remains a major activity and strategic priority for our profession as PA education faculty. However, our curriculum design, redesign, and renewal initiatives are often focused on unique and idiosyncratic changes or "tinkering" that can lead to curriculum dilution and drift.
