Medical College of Wisconsin APP Fellowship Programs

About our programs

Medical College Physicians postgraduate fellowship programs provide a structured clinical and professional education to foster growth of highly skilled nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) in multidisciplinary, collaborative, and evidence-based management of complex patients

Our program aims to attract new APP graduates or experienced APPs seeking a structured educational program to support and guide their development of proficient clinical decision making and their application of specialized skills. APP Fellows will have core rotations as well as elective choices to provide a diverse and personal program experience.
