What role does the AANP play in healthcare policy?
The AANP is actively involved in shaping healthcare policy at both the state and federal levels. The organization advocates for the removal of barriers to NP practice, such as restrictive scope-of-practice laws, and promotes policies that allow NPs to practice to the full extent of their education and training. The AANP also works to secure funding for NP programs and to influence legislation that impacts healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
