This interactive workshop will provide participants with a practical roadmap for designing and implementing a structured curriculum to improve collaboration between Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) and surgical residents. Drawing from the development of the WashU APPRECIATE platform, the session will focus on five core modules: role definition, APPs as educators, standardized handoff, conflict resolution, and feedback.

Participants will explore how targeted educational interventions can strengthen interprofessional communication, streamline workflows, and enhance patient care. Facilitators will present examples of orientation guides, handoff tools, teaching frameworks, and simulation scenarios used in real-world settings. Attendees will receive ready-to-use templates, evaluation tools, and implementation strategies that can be customized to fit their own institutional needs.

This session is designed for surgical educators, program directors, APP leaders, and curriculum developers interested in fostering stronger APP-resident partnerships. The focus will be on scalable, sustainable tools that support both the launch and long-term sustainability of interprofessional training initiatives.
