At our institution, you will be working side by side with Advanced Practice Providers as a PICU Fellow. Would you have any issues in doing so?

"During residency training, I got to work very closely with APP staff in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, and they were all amazing to work with. They greatly improved patient access, which is a benefit to all. They are also very knowledgeable in procedures and can provide a 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 APP staff?"

Keep your answer short and sweet. Tell the interviewers that you wouldn't have any issues working closely with APP staff while training during PICU Fellowship. To further solidify your response to this question, highlight some of the positive aspects that Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants can bring to a practice.
