Overview

The Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner degree at Duke University develops nurse practitioners (NPs) to provide family-centered, equitable care for pediatric patients across the pediatric lifespan and developmental stages (newborn to age 25 years). Starting in 2025, graduates will also be prepared for dual certification in pediatric mental health.

Key Features

Primary care pediatric NPs promote health and well-being and manage common acute and chronic pediatric physical, behavioral and mental health conditions across a variety of clinical settings.

To prepare you for this, our program builds a foundation on evidence-based practice to provide the highest-quality and most scientifically grounded health care to pediatric patients and their families.

Nurse practitioners are in high demand, and our pediatric primary care NP MSN equips you to meet this exceptional need.
