Our Graduate Certificate in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) offers experienced advanced practice nurses the chance to broaden their scope of practice. This program is designed for those who have earned or are pursuing a graduate degree in nursing (MN, DNP, or PhD) and wish to develop the expertise needed to provide primary care management to adults across the age spectrum, from adolescence through old age, and throughout the health continuum. This certificate is ideal for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and nurse anesthetists, who are looking to expand their current practice. In this Graduate Certificate program, you will complete 12 to 15 months of study. Your program plan, including fieldwork placements, is customized through close collaboration with a faculty adviser based on a formal gap analysis and an evaluation of your prior education and experience. Clinical practice experiences are available in both urban and rural settings. Many core Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGNP-AC) courses require weekly in-person classroom attendance in addition to clinical practicum hours.
