AUSTIN, TEXAS — The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) recognizes the outstanding achievements and exemplary service of 40 AANP members who have been accepted into the prestigious Fellows of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) program. Practicing in 22 U.S. states and in Korea, these nurse practitioner (NP) leaders will be inducted on June 23 at the 2022 AANP National Conference in Orlando, Florida. The new Fellows will join an elite and diverse group of 893 NPs who have made — and who continue to make — a positive and profound impact on national and global health.

Established in 2000, the FAANP program is dedicated to the advancement of NPs and the high-quality health care they provide. Recognized as NP leaders who have made outstanding contributions to NP education, policy, clinical practice and research, AANP Fellows volunteer their expertise as reviewers, topical experts, committee members, journal contributors, mentors and more.
