ASGE Annual GI Advanced Practice Provider Course (Virtual) - Onboarding (Day One) | March 2025-Career Development: Building APP Leaders

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this session, Dr. Joseph Vacari emphasizes the importance of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) leading within their own field, particularly in gastroenterology. He argues that APP leadership is vital for creating systems and processes that truly reflect the needs of APPs, rather than having non-APP leaders impose solutions that may not align with APP requirements. This approach can enhance operational efficiency, improve APP retention, and ensure that APPs can practice at the top of their licensure, thereby reducing turnover and enhancing job satisfaction.<br /><br />Dr. Vacari outlines different styles of leadership, including transformative, participative, and servant leadership, highlighting the latter as the most beneficial in healthcare due to its focus on service. He also touches on the types of intelligence that contribute to successful leadership, such as interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence, and verbal-linguistic intelligence, which fuel effective communication and empathy.<br /><br />Caitlin adds insights on developing APP leaders through mentorship, structured programs, and involvement in committees. Ensuring APP representation in decision-making that affects their roles is crucial. They stress the need for clear reporting structures, administrative time for leaders, and representation in hospital governance to drive positive organizational change.
