Why Earn an Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Certificate?

As the general population ages, there is an exponential demand for greater numbers of nurse practitioners to meet the primary care needs of adults. With an advanced nursing degree in adult gerontology primary care, you make a difference in the well-being of your clients in physician offices, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, home healthcare and assisted living facilities.

Our advanced certificate programs, including the adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner certificate, were designed for students who already hold a master’s degree in nursing and provide an educational route to specialize in an area other than the concentration in their master’s program.
