Podcast: How Advanced Practice Professionals are Shaping the Future of Care

Podcast: How Advanced Practice Professionals are Shaping the Future of Care

We dive deep into how advance practice professionals are impacting today’s workforce challenges and shaping the future of medicine.


March 01, 2026

Ericka Charkalis, NP, in the cardiac intensive care unit at UVM Medical Center.

Advanced Practice Professionals (APPs) – nurse practitioners, physician assistants, midwives, CRNAs and others — are reshaping how health care is delivered. In this episode, we sit down with APPs, leaders and clinicians from across University of Vermont Health, to learn how these practitioners are impacting everything from the state and national policies that define APP clinical practice, to the team-based care models driving health care delivery.

You’ll hear stories from practitioners across Vermont and northern New York who are advancing education, policy, mentoring emerging providers and redefining what modern, team-based health care looks like. From midwifery expansion serving rural communities to an innovative “transition-to-practice” program at the largest hospital in northern New York, we dive deep into how advance practice professionals are impacting today’s workforce challenges and shaping the future of medicine.

Whether you’re a patient, health care professional or just curious about how care is evolving, these conversations offer an inside look at one of the most important evolutions in health care today.
