The Advanced Practice Provider (APP) group is a dynamic, talented, and diverse team of board-certified acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) and physician assistants (PAs) dedicated to providing high-quality, person-centered, compassionate care.
Each quarter, we recognize one of our APPs who has gone above and beyond for their team and patients.
Congratulations to our APP of the Quarter, Katie Myler!

Katie was named the APP of the Quarter in Dec. 2025! Here is what her nominator has to say about her:
“Katie consistently demonstrates exceptional clinical expertise while also serving as a dedicated preceptor and mentor to new APPs and cross-trainees. She is highly regarded by CTI attendings for the knowledge she brings to rounds and her ability to teach complex concepts in a clear, supportive, and nonjudgmental way. Katie also contributes to our social and wellbeing committee and is always willing to lend a hand. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and commitment to others create a welcoming, high-performing team environment and truly reflect WashU values.”
