The advanced practice provider collaborates with other clinicians and works to educate, advocate, and increase access for patients in the clinical setting. Research has shown that advanced practice providers working collaboratively with physicians yield improved quality of care and outcomes; however, the current level of understanding of this role in gastroenterology has not been explored in detail. Across two academic institutions, we conducted 16 semi-structured interviews to examine how the environment of the gastroenterology department aligns with the professional satisfaction of its advanced practice providers. Thematic saturation was achieved, revealing four themes:(1) productivity of the working relationship;(2) inconsistent understandings of the advanced practice provider role in clinical care;(3) mixed advanced practice provider experience relating to colleague support; and (4) autonomy impacts satisfaction. These themes highlight not only a reasonable degree of advanced practice provider satisfaction, but also the need to engage with colleagues regarding the advanced practice provider role in care to allow for better integration into the overall gastroenterology healthcare team. The results from different institutions suggest the need to interview gastroenterology advanced practice providers in different settings to better understand whether similar themes exist.
