NPHub Addresses Nurse Practitioner Shortage Through Innovative Platform

NPHub, led by founder and CEO Krish Chopra, is making strides in reducing the nurse practitioner (NP) shortage by optimizing their career progression from education to employment. This two-sided marketplace bridges the gap between NP students and preceptors, facilitating crucial clinical rotation opportunities necessary for graduation and workforce entry. The U.S. healthcare system, anticipating a deficit of 180,000 physicians by the next decade, sees a 45% projected growth in NP demand from 2021 to 2032.

Since 2017, NPHub has enabled over 8,500 NP students from more than 240 programs to secure clinical placements, significantly contributing to the NP workforce expansion. Recognized for its rapid growth, the company has been listed on the Inc. 5000 for two years running. Its upcoming platform, NPHire, already in pilot with over 6,500 NP and APRN candidates, aims to further streamline the transition to full-time roles.

A $20 million investment from Edison Partners highlights NPHub's transformative potential in the NP career pathway. This funding will accelerate technological advancements and service expansions to support NPs across their careers, tackling systemic inefficiencies that often hinder student graduation due to scarce clinical training opportunities. NPHub's achievements underscore the urgent need for innovative healthcare education and employment solutions, marking it as a pivotal force in future healthcare delivery.
