Highland is introducing a Career Ladder for Advanced Practice Providers to recognize their skills, dedication, and compassion in caring for our patients at Highland every day. “This program is a real win for APPs and a testament to Highland’s commitment to our team,” said Arthur Arieno, PA-C MPAS, Director of APPs at Highland.

The ladder includes three levels including Proficient, Expert and Master. Criteria include Education & Certification, Clinical Practice, Service Excellence, Professional Development, Citizenship, and Professionalism. An eligibility checklist will be available on the APP intranet site as well as applications and additional information at https://sites.mc.rochester.edu/highland/app  Applications are now being accepted.

Once submitted to the Committee on APP Advancement, the application and supporting documentation will be reviewed and verified. The applicant may be called and interviewed as part of the supporting mechanism for the Advancement Process. Upon approval of the Committee, the application will be forwarded to HR for final approval.

“We are excited to be able to offer this opportunity to Highland’s amazing team of APPs,” said Jessica Mahoney, PA-C, Lead APP for the Department of Surgery.  “It gives us all a formal process to acknowledge achievements, encourage growth, and develop future goals.”
