APPex is a not-for-profit professional membership organization and network for healthcare executives, administrators, and leaders in advanced practice nursing/medicine that provides resources, support and consulting services to clinicians, hospitals and other healthcare institutions. Our mission, vision, and values focus intently on APP leaders and those who support them in their role, ultimately leading to safer & higher quality care, markedly more satisfied staff and patients, and more appropriate and efficient utilization of APRNs & PAs.

Originally founded in 2007 as Advanced Practice Executives, APPex began as a collection of 10-20 Directors of Advanced Practice—executive leaders at academic medical centers throughout the U.S.—who had administrative oversight of and responsibility for a specific group or groups of APPs. Some of these leaders solely oversaw nurse practitioners, while others oversaw all advanced practice registered nurses along with physician assistants.

APPex’s annual conference held in September--the Advanced Practice Provider (APRN & PA) Leadership Summit--is the first and largest conference specifically geared towards advanced practice leadership and administrative topics.
