Onboarding Advance Practice Clinicians: A Theoretically Informed Framework.

Abstract

A gap in the literature currently exists regarding theoretically informed onboarding frameworks to support growing demands of advanced practice clinician after graduate training. Kern's six-step approach to curriculum development informed the design of an onboarding framework. Aligning the transformative learning theory with navigating the pathway to advanced practice grounded theory guides key components of onboarding for all learner levels and clinical practice settings.
