CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Brandi Holcomb and Jacob Paul, who have successfully passed the CHEST Critical Care APP Certification Exam!

They are part of the very first cohort of providers to earn this newly established certification.

The CHEST CCAPP (Critical Care Advanced Practice Provider) certification is a new credential from the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) designed for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants practicing in critical care. This rigorous, data-driven exam validates expertise across 11 core domains, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurology, pharmacology, and ethics. The certification aims to standardize critical care practice, bridge training gaps, and formally recognize the specialized skills APPs bring to ICU teams.

This is a significant professional achievement, and we are proud to have Brandi and Jacob leading the way.
