Become a national leader in healthcare
Joining the Society of Doctoral Advanced Practice Clinicians (SDAPC) presents a unique opportunity to become a leader on the national stage within the APC profession. As a member, you have the chance to attain an elected position or serve on the board, demonstrating your commitment to advancing the APC profession and contributing to the broader healthcare field. Unlike other organizations, SDAPC does not impose strict long-term membership requirements prior to running for an elected position, ensuring that every member has the opportunity to shape the future of our society and make a meaningful impact in the healthcare community. Join us today and take your place as a leader in advanced practice healthcare.
Support for the highest level of education possible.
PAs and NPs have worked hard for recognition in the healthcare arena. The transition to an entry-level doctorate academic degree has been slow and there has been backlash against the transition. By joining the SDAPC you will magnify the APC voice and help the profession advance more quickly to its logical conclusion, which is a terminal doctorate for all advanced practice clinicians.
When you join, you gain access to educational and professional resources through our partner services without additional cost for most services, such as limited tutoring, resume review and mock interviews, and exam preparation!
You also have the opportunity to support other APCs through scholarship who may not be able to achieve doctoral-level education for financial reasons via our annual APC doctoral program scholarship.
Collaboration between NPs and PAs
While the training that NPs and PAs undergo varies, the job is the same; to take care of patients, especially in underserved communities. The dichotomy between these two professions has hindered the APC role’s growth since the 1960s. It is time that NPs and PAs were unified in achieving the ultimate goal of patient care at the highest APC education level possible. You will have a chance to discuss the trajectory of the profession with like-minded APCs on an organizational level, which is not something that exists formally in other societies.
Opportunity to learn together.
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the synergy between Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) is pivotal. Joining an academic professional society like SDAPC provides a unique platform for PAs and NPs to learn collaboratively. Through engaging meetings, conferences, and vibrant online discussions, professionals from both disciplines exchange insights, share diverse perspectives, and cultivate interdisciplinary excellence. These interactions foster a rich educational environment, where the collective knowledge of PAs and NPs merges, propelling the advancement of patient care, research, and education. Embrace the power of collaborative learning and propel your career forward with SDAPC.
Compensation reports help you go farther in your profession.
As a doctoral-trained Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) member, you’ll leverage our forthcoming annual Salary and Compensation Report for strategic negotiation. Gain insights into emerging industry trends, forthcoming salary benchmarks, and benefits tailored to doctoral-level expertise. By actively participating in our annual survey, members contribute data that will shape a comprehensive report, empowering them with the knowledge to confidently navigate future salary negotiations, secure competitive benefits, and showcase their unique value to the healthcare landscape. Elevate your future compensation package and career trajectory through informed negotiation with SDAPC.
Other professional data reports are vague and skewed by unnecessary data points that are not applicable to many individuals. Our data report is simple…5 questions is all you need an answer to: 1. How long have you worked, 2. Which industry and which specialty, 3. What is your education level, 4. How much do you make per year, and 5. What is your compensation package layout.
Once you join, you will complete the questionnaire and the amalgamated results will be presented to you upon review for your use.
