How much time will it take to implement the APB Program?
It depends on your institution and the size of your program. Good planning upfront is extremely important to program success. You will need to think about who will be observing whom and what groups (e.g. nurses, other healthcare professionals) you want to involve. You may also need to get buy-in from other groups to prepare the ground for a strong program. Once you have completed planning, your program administrator can begin scheduling observations, distributing survey instruments, and following up with individuals to help them take advantage of training and other supports. You will receive help with all these decisions and tasks through training and APB team members, who are available to provide support. NBME takes care of loading the survey into your evaluation system and providing you with the feedback reports.
