Role Development of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in Liver Transplantation

Conclusion: We have determined that surgical and medical NPs and PAs are essential for optimal patient outcomes. They facilitate a better learning experience for residents and fellows on their transplant rotations. Further investigations to assess the roles of these providers and their impact on the education of residents and fellows in transplantation are warranted. Further transplant hepatology education programs and/or fellowships are recommended to assist in the education and professional development of transplant NPs and PAs.
