Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Clinical Advancement Program (CAP)
CAP provides a process for career advancement for APPs who progressively contribute to excellent clinical practice, fulfill mentorship/teaching/leadership roles and accomplish academic achievements. The APP CAP application requires APPs to demonstrate contributions and accomplishments across five domains:
Clinical service • Teaching/mentoring • Research and scholarly activity • Leadership • Professionalism
Achievement of an increasing point requirement across the five domains allows APPs to advance from Level 1 (entry level or new to Cincinnati Children’s) to Level 2, 3 or 4:
Level 2 (≥3 years clinical practice): competent practice, competent preceptor, beginning contributions to improvement initiatives or scholarly activity
Level 3 (≥5 years clinical practice): clinical mentor, proficient preceptor, involvement/leadership on improvement initiatives or scholarly activity
Level 4 (≥7 years clinical practice): clinical expert, expert preceptor, demonstrates leadership on improvement initiatives or scholarly activity
Advancement applications are submitted to and approved by an APP CAP review committee, which includes two co-leads and additional members with diverse representation from all areas (outpatient/inpatient/critical care, anesthesia, psychiatry, APRN/physician assistants, various levels of experience). Clinical advancement is accompanied by an annual bonus. Here's the clinical advancement achievement in CY24:
