Description

This clinical trial evaluates whether a mentorship and education intervention called COACH-APP works to improve advanced practice providers' (APPs) confidence in their ability to participate in clinical research (research self-efficacy). APPs are skilled clinicians who are routinely part of cancer care teams, but who may not routinely be part of the research care team at community oncology sites. The COACH-APP program provides focused education and structured mentorship to assist in meaningful integration to the research care team, which may increase research self-efficacy among APPs and ultimately improve patient care and access to clinical trials.
