Over the years, there has always been some hesitation for physicians to work alongside APPs. But the reality is that most large institutions have made the financial decision to employ and use more APPs in practice. Your interviewers need to be assured that you are comfortable training in this situation and that you will be a great team player with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.

"During residency training, I got to work very closely with mid-level providers in the hospital and clinic setting, and they were great to work with. They greatly improved patient access, which is a benefit to all. They are also very knowledgeable in procedures and can be the second set of eyes in many situations. In the state where I trained for residency, they did not have a full scope of authority, and physicians needed to sign off on any prescriptions they wrote. Can you talk about your state's scope of practice for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistant and discuss how they function in your critical care setting?"
