Family Nurse Practitioner Program

As a family nurse practitioner, prepare to manage acute and chronic health problems, refer and coordinate care with specialists when needed, and counsel about healthy lifestyles.

Nurse practitioners in this specialty approach individuals as part of a family system in the context of the community, and are particularly skilled at improving access to high-quality care for medically-underserved populations. They practice in a wide variety of settings, including community health centers, private practices, school-based health clinics, emergency departments, and urgent care centers.
