Our Story
In 2020, Dr. Annie DePasquale, a Board-certified Family Medicine physician, founded Collaborating Docs after witnessing firsthand how difficult it was for NPs and PAs to find a supervising physician. She knew there had to be a better way—and made it her mission to help.

Founder
As a new grad, Dr. DePasquale benefited greatly from the mentorship of NPs and PAs, and she’s committed to giving back to the community that supported her throughout her career. She understands the overwhelming challenges NPs and PAs face just to start practicing—no one should have to navigate that process alone.
That’s why Collaborating Docs exists: to remove the barriers to finding a collaborating physician, so NPs and PAs can focus on what matters most—caring for patients. Since 2020, we’ve helped over 5,000 NPs and PAs connect with the right physician to move their practices forward.
