The Fellows of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) program was established by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) in 2000 to recognize nurse practitioner leaders who have made outstanding contributions to health care through nurse practitioner (NP) clinical practice, research, education, or policy and to provide a forum through which to extend and enhance such efforts. Priority initiatives of FAANP are the development of leadership and mentorship programs for nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students.

The period for the 2012 FAANP application typically runs in the fall for induction of new members at AANP's National Conference the following year.  Please use links on the left for more FAANP information!
