Urgent Care Medicine NP & PA Fellowship
About
Program Overview
This unique, intensive program will build upon the strength of our highly successful P.A. and N.P. practice already in place, combined with the largest and most effective family practice and urgent care practice in southwest Virginia. The fellowship will be a complement to the Urgent Care program, as N.P. and P.A. fellows will benefit from didactic and clinical experiences that mirror family medicine physician residency training.
Mission, Goals and Strengths
- Prepare P.A.s and N.P.s for careers in urgent care settings as competent, highly functional members in health care
- Provide P.A.s and N.P.s with further education, specialized clinical and professional experience that distinguishes them from non-specialty trained P.A.s and N.P.s
- Retain focused and well-trained P.A.s and N.P.s who are interested in academics and higher learning as clinicians and employees of Carilion Clinic
Graduates of this one-year fellowship program will possess substantial skills, knowledge, and competencies required in the fields of urgent care, family medicine and rural health as the P.A. and N.P. professions continue to be ranked among the fastest growing career opportunities.
