APP Primary Care Fellowship
The Sanford Health APP Primary Care Fellowship is a paid 12-month educational experience for new or recent advanced practice provider graduates – physician assistants (PA) or nurse practitioners (NP) committed to clinical practice in ambulatory primary care. The program is located in the Fargo/Moorhead metro area. The program will align closely with the already established and successful internal medicine and family medicine physician residency programs at Sanford Health in Fargo.
