Today, the AdvancingPractice Fellowship Program had the opportunity to participate in a wellness yoga session led by yoga instructor Natalie Rodgers from YogawiththeOmies. 🧘🏽‍♀️✨

Thank you, Natalie, for providing such a meaningful and refreshing experience for our Cohort 6 fellows. At AdvancingPractice, we care deeply about the wellness of our fellows, and part of this fellowship is exploring healthy ways to manage stress, practice self-care, and support overall well-being.

By prioritizing wellness, we continue striving to provide the best possible care for our Erie patients and community. 💙

🧠✨ Psych Simulation Day!
Today, our AdvancingPractice Fellowship Program took learning to the next level with our first-ever psychiatric simulation during didactic session at our Erie Evanston site! We look forward to incorporating psych simulations into future cohorts!

Led by our incredible Clinical Liaison, Esther Sault, and in collaboration with Adult Gerontology Preceptor, Kate Kozeniewski, fellows engaged in an immersive experience designed to strengthen clinical decision-making, communication, and patient-centered care in behavioral health.

This simulation created a safe space for fellows to practice real-world scenarios, build confidence, and deepen their understanding of complex psychiatric presentations—an essential skill set for providing care. 

At AdvancingPractice, we are committed to innovative, experiential learning that prepares our fellows to deliver high-quality, compassionate care in every setting. 💙

Our APRN Fellows recently attended an in-person Procedure Lab at our Erie Foster location! 🩺

Led by Dr. Ann McCormick, with support from Fellowship faculty Esther Sault and Olivia Dixon, and our Program Director, this hands-on session gave fellows the opportunity to build procedural skills and strengthen clinical confidence.

These in-person, didactic learning opportunities are an essential part of our Fellowship program—ensuring our fellows continue developing the knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality care for our Erie patients and communities.

We’re proud to support the next generation of advanced practice providers through collaborative learning and real-world training. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Last month, we had the best time stepping away from our clinical roles and onto the dance floor 💃🏽✨

A huge thank you to Jennifer Edgcomb, who leads Community Outreach at GEM Realty, for providing our APRN fellows and staff with a complimentary group dance wellness class! In addition to her work in community engagement, Jennifer shares her passion for dance by teaching on the side — and we were lucky to experience it firsthand.

The session was filled with energy, laughter, movement, and so much joy. It was a wonderful reminder of the importance of wellness, connection, and taking time to care for ourselves while we care for others.

Thank you, Jennifer, for giving our fellows and staff such an amazing experience and all the wellness benefits that came with it. We can’t wait to do it again! 💙
