AANP-Developed Resources to Support NPs in Treating Your Patients
- Practice Brief: Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Summary.
- Practice Brief: Colorectal Cancer Screening Guidelines Summary.
Colorectal Cancer Screening: Making Sure Your Patients Are Up to Date
This handout is designed to support NPs as they navigate the shared clinical decision-making process with their patients who are considering and undergoing colorectal cancer screenings. The tool can guide patients on the next steps and what to expect before and after the screening test.
This tool is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Exact Sciences Corporation.
Sickle Cell Disease Medications & Management for the Clinician
Significant advances in available treatments have been made in the last few years for the management of sickle cell disease (SCD). It is therefore imperative that primary care NPs are equipped with the knowledge, confidence and ability to implement best-practice guidelines for early intervention, disease modification, symptom management, complication mitigation, monitoring and optimization of quality of life using a shared decision-making approach. This unaccredited clinical resource has been developed to accompany the NP Pulse: The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner®.
This tool is supported through an independent educational grant from Vertex.
AANP Community
