Frequently Asked Questions

What is APMatch By PracticeMatch?

APMatch is the PracticeMatch advanced practitioner career resource and database. APMatch was created to help Nurse Practitioners (NP), Physician Assistants (PA), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Certified Nurse Specialist (CNS), and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) find their ideal practice opportunity.
Additionally, our APMatch medical job search database was created to help medical facilities recruit advanced practitioner candidates directly, instead of using outside search firms.

The APMatch database is accessed online and allows subscribing medical facilities to find advanced practitioners who are interested in finding a new practice position.
