Established by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) in 2000, the Fellows of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) program is dedicated to the global advancement of nurse practitioners (NPs) and the high-quality health care NPs deliver. By engaging recognized NP leaders who have made outstanding contributions to NP education, policy, clinical practice or research, and developing NP leaders of the future, FAANP is furthering the NP role while enhancing AANP's mission.
The FAANP is comprised of NP leaders from across the country, so it comes as a great honor with even greater expectations to be an Officer of FAANP or a member of a standing committee. Thank you to these individuals for volunteering to serve FAANP.
Discover how the FAANP began, its purpose and why it's such an important contributor to AANP and the NP role.
