NKF CAPP Workforce Insights: A National Analysis of Nephrology Advanced Practice Provider Roles and Compensation
The National Kidney Foundation’s Council of Advanced Practice Providers (NKF-CAPP) is once again conducting its nationwide survey to assess the specific job descriptions, salaries, and benefits of nephrology advanced practice providers.

THIS SURVEY IS OPEN TO ALL NEPHROLOGY ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS. We hope to gather the most comprehensive data possible, which will then be compared with data from prior surveys.

Please pass the survey link on to any nephrology APPs you know!
