On today’s episode, AANP President Dr. Stephen Ferrara invites a past AANP president, Dr. Sophia Thomas, to announce — and celebrate — her return as the host of NP Pulse. Longtime friends and colleagues, Ferrara and Thomas share stories about their journey as NP leaders and what the future may hold for AANP and nurse practitioners (NPs). Listen to learn more about Thomas and podcast topics that are on the horizon. Another great way to stay connected with the NP community is by attending the 2023 AANP Fall Conference in Austin, Texas, Sept. 7-10. This  event offers in-person and on-demand packages and the opportunity to earn the AANP Introduction to Leadership Certificate— a prerequisite for the AANP Executive Leadership Program.
