Abstract
The aim of this study was to reduce barriers to achieving academic promotion among advanced practice providers. Educational sessions, an online tutorial, and mentoring sessions were implemented. A survey was administered to all advanced providers after the interventions. Of the 168 surveys sent out, 117 (67%) were returned. Subsequently, 32% achieved academic rank (a 52% improvement), and 35% were active in the process. Reporting of the most frequently identified barriers “lack of mentorship” and “difficulty understanding the process” was reduced by 100% and 71%. Strategies to decrease barriers can be beneficial in improving the processes and achievement of academic promotion.
