In this episode of Rocky Mountain Surgery, we discuss the important role advanced practice providers - nurse practitioners and physician assistants - play in surgical residency training. We chatted with two of our SICU NPs at Denver Health Kim Hardin and Emily Perkins Pride, as well as one of our STICU PAs at UCH Zach Asher.
