ABOUT US / an elite and expanding group
ANCC Practice Transition Accreditation Program® (PTAP) and Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship Accreditation™ (APPFA) are two of ANCC’s internationally renowned credentialing programs that accredit and recognize healthcare organizations that promote nursing and APP excellence and quality patient outcomes while providing safe, positive work environments.
Transition to Practice programs that use the ANCC PTAP or APPFA frameworks find value in improving their structures and processes by creating robust, comprehensive programs for registered nurses’ (RN), physician Assistant/Associates (PA’s) or Advance Practice Registered Nures (APRNs’) transitioning into and within healthcare.

- RN Residencies — For nurses with less than 12 months’ experience
- RN Fellowships — For experienced nurses to master a new clinical setting
