ThriveAP, the leading transition to practice education solution for advanced practice providers (APPs), innovates their solutions again to expand into Adult Critical Care.  

 The ThriveAP Critical Care Program is a comprehensive, adult focused, 12-month curriculum designed to address the unique knowledge needs required to provide care to critically ill patients via a live and virtual delivery platform. It offers education to post-graduate Nurse Practitioners (NPs) & Physician Associates (PAs) for the purpose of providing safe, efficient, and compassionate critical care by developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to enter the practice of critical care and establishing a foundation for continued professional growth. The one-of-a-kind solution equips NPs and PAs to thrive in multidisciplinary teams while managing patients who are critically ill.  

 According to the Society of Critical Care Medicine, there are more than 30,000 acute care nurse practitioners and physician associates practicing critical care in the United States- making it a clear solution to add to the ThriveAP transition to practice programming. 

 The rolling curriculum includes 10 didactic blocks consisting of: 

  • Fundamentals 
  • Respiratory 
  • Cardiac 
  • Kidney 
  • Gastrointestinal 
  • Neurology 
  • Infectious Disease 
  • Hematology / Oncology 
  • Endocrine 
  • Palliative Care & Psych 

 What makes ThriveAP programs unique is they go beyond didactic, evidence-based medicine. Included with the Adult Critical Care weekly courses are professional development topics, journal discussions, and a monthly CE workshop series focused on trending topics that fulfills NP/PA licensure CE requirements. 

“ThriveAP is proud to continuously innovate our solutions and deepen our support of the advanced practice community and their employers. It is our mission to support the NP and PA community at every stage of their career, empowering clinicians to practice at top of licensure, provide optimal care, and gain confidence,” stated Jim Creason, President & CEO of ThriveAP.
