Negotiating your Worth | 1:30 pm
This session is designed for students to experienced Advanced Practice Providers trying to navigate the current workforce environment. Common needs range from securing a first job, negotiating job offers, and evaluating benefits and consequences around changing jobs. Each require informed reflection, significant preparation, and self-advocacy. This session will provide information on current trends in the APP landscape nationwide and in Kansas, how to assess and negotiate one’s wants/needs, how to leverage fiscal worth, and guidance on how to address key clauses of concern in nearly all healthcare provider contracts. The healthcare workforce is faced with a multitude of challenges including appalling job offers, uncompensated work expectations, low staffing, increasing job dissatisfaction, and absence of voice or value in practice settings. Left unaddressed these issues are key contributors to the high attrition rate associated with early to mid-career departure of all APPs.
