What are the responsibilities and job description for the Advanced Practice Clinician Fellow in Acute Care Surgery position at Regions Hospital?
We are offering a 12-month postgraduate program for Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners interested in advanced training in Acute Care Surgery with a start date of May 2026.
The HealthPartners Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) Fellowship at Regions Hospital, a Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center, engages APC learners in extensive training within the core services of Trauma, Emergency General Surgery and Surgical Intensive Care, as well as required rotations in specialty areas deemed essential for proficiency. Responsibilities include performing histories and physicals, formulating an assessment and plan, and providing necessary treatments and procedures. An APC fellow's work is supervised by an attending physician or APC.
Through lectures, skills training and clinical simulations, didactic sessions complement the diverse rotations and hands-on experiences, offering the APC Fellow the opportunity to develop clinical competence and confidence, critical thinking, and interprofessional collaboration. This helps APCs successfully integrate into practice at an accelerated rate compared to on-the-job training.
At HealthPartners, you will find a warm, diverse group of people who are committed to helping our patients - and each other. We foster an inclusive environment that encourages new ways of thinking, celebrates differences, and recognizes hard work. We're also committed to living our values. This means you can expect us to be your partner and treat you with dignity and respect. Join our team and make good happen!
