Learning Objectives Access to high-quality neurological care is a growing challenge as demand rises. The AAN aims to reduce the national average wait time to see a neurologist with the key strategy of integrating advanced practice providers (APPs) into neurology care teams. Yet onboarding APPs often creates significant administrative, financial, and time burdens. This talk opens a candid dialogue on these challenges and offers practical solutions, featuring perspectives from an APP, physician, and practice manager.
