Overview

Nurse Practitioners are critical providers in the health care system, filling the growing need for providers to address the complexity of care needed by patients, an aging population, and growing disparities in care among populations.

The Nurse Practitioner Pathway at The University of Alabama at Birmingham is offered in a distance accessible format that combines on-line dialectic coursework with on-campus intensives. During the last four semesters of the program, students are required to participate in four on-campus intensives.

Key Features

Nurse practitioners care for patients in a variety of settings, including private practices, clinics, hospitals and community agencies.

Their work also can go beyond bedside care, helping solve real-world health care issues by working collaboratively with other health care professionals to address changing health care needs across communities.

Graduates in the Nurse Practitioner program from The University of Alabama at Birmingham are prepared to apply to sit for certification in their chosen specialty.
