Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess differences in the perception of the role of advanced practice providers (APPs) within an academic oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) department.
Study design: We surveyed OMS providers including APPs, residents, and attending surgeons. The survey covered 5 areas: impact of APPs on resident training, knowledge of APP training, interaction with APPs, scope-of-practice of APPs, and role of APPs in the health care team.
Results: The attendings and APPs felt that the APPs had a positive impact on resident education, although the residents disagreed. Attendings and residents had limited knowledge about the APP training background. There was general agreement in the APP scope-of-practice, excepting for procedures. Attendings and the APPs felt that the role of the APP was well defined, although the residents disagreed.
Conclusions: As the role of APPs within academic OMS continues to evolve, it is important to address the differences in the perception of APPs among providers. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol YEAR;VOL:page range).
