(“AGI”) (Nasdaq: ASPU), an education technology holding company, today announced an affiliation partnership with American-Advanced Practice Network (A-APN), a national clinical network for advanced practice nurses that provides comprehensive health care and nursing services at its outpatient centers and clinical facilities throughout the U.S.

A-APN offers independent nurse practitioners (NPs) a unique, multi-state network or “group practice without walls” with best-in-class technology and business support. A-APN was created for and by NPs. Rural and remote members of the network have nationwide, trusted peer cross-coverage for patients. A-APN members deliver clinical care using CareSpan®’s Digital Care Delivery platform, facilitating care delivery in-person, or at a distance. The platform includes diagnostics, EMR, e-prescribing, remote monitoring, and dynamic documentation.

“Aspen Group is working diligently to support our graduate nursing students in their goal to complete their degrees and advance their careers. Through this affiliation, A-APN will appoint an Educational Coordinator to work with USU’s Office of Field Experience to place our students with qualified, experienced NP preceptors. Using A-APN’s CareSpan®, a comprehensive, integrated digital healthcare “Clinic-in-the-Cloud,” the program will allow students to work in a clinical setting remotely under the watchful eye of an A-APN NP,” said Chairman & CEO, Michael Mathews. “This critical telehealth partnership will enable our USU MSN-FNP students to complete their required direct care clinical hours with A-APN throughout the COVID-19 crisis and thereafter. As a benefit, we don’t anticipate any delays to their projected graduation dates.”

“American-Advanced Practice Network is excited to partner with Aspen Group in meeting the healthcare needs of the community by supporting quality nurse practitioner education through our network.
