ADVANCED PRACTICE PROFESSIONAL RECRUITING 28

EXPERIENCE AND SPECIALITIES PLAY INTO RECRUITING THE ‘RIGHT FIT’

In Fiscal Year 2025, Michigan Medicine experienced
remarkable growth in its Advanced Practice Professional FY25 APP HIRES: EXPERIENCE LEVEL
(APP) workforce. Compared to the previous year, the
number of filled APP positions increased by 47%, marking New Grad
one of the most significant year-over-year surges in 13.3%
recent history. Looking back over the past five years, the
total number of APP positions hired at Michigan
Medicine has nearly doubled, representing a 97%
increase since FY21.
This expansion was matched by a sustained demand for
experienced practitioners. In FY25, a substantial 81% of
newly hired APPs brought at least one year of 5+ yrs
professional experience to their roles. Notably, of these 43.3%
experienced hires, 35% had more than five years of prior
experience, highlighting Michigan Medicine’s
commitment to robust clinical leadership and expertise.

The Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP Certification was
the most sought after certification, with 44% of all newly
hired nurse practitioners holding this credential. This
trend reflects the growing needs of Michigan Medicine’s
patient populations and its strategic focus on acute and 1-4 yrs
specialized adult care.
