The fellowship program is a benefit – eligible appointment with a limited duration term of twelve (12) months.

APRN fellows are licensed and fully credentialed with an expectation of mentored transition to independent practice over the course of the fellowship program.

A weekly schedule will be developed in collaboration with APRN and Physician preceptors.

Completion of the fellowship program is expected, and a “Certificate of Completion” will be provided at the end of the program.

Funding for this fellowship program was provided by a grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

The start date is not upon the applicant’s acceptance to the program. All APRN fellowship participants are required to complete the credentialing process prior to the start of the program.

The credentialing process takes about three (3) months to be completed. In some cases, it may take more than three (3) months depending upon the completeness of the credentialing documentation requirements. Upon credentialing approval and completion, the applicant will receive a credentialing approval letter. Human Resources (HR) will then communicate with the applicant for the final onboarding process.

External applicants will have to undergo the whole process of onboarding including background checks and employee health clearance. This may take about two (2) – four (4) weeks to be completed. Internal applicants do not need to go undergo the whole process of onboarding. The status will be a change and transfer of position to the new APRN role.

External applicants will complete the new employee orientation upon hire that is led by HR. Internal applicants do not need to undergo the new employee orientation. They will report directly to the Director of the APRN Fellowship Program for the initiation of the fellowship orientation.
