Overview

The Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program of University of Pennsylvania teaches students to synthesize theoretical, scientific, and contemporary clinical knowledge to assess and manage health and illness in adult and older adult patients.

Our program

We’ll train you to deliver care that meets patients’ needs, regardless of setting. You’ll be comfortable working in community health clinics, private medical practices, speciality clinics, Veteran’s Administration facilities, home care, assisted living facilities, long-term care settings, rehabilitation centers, and urgent care.
In many cases, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioners follow their patients across care settings, acting as a guardian to protect care quality and patient safety during transitions. These nurses are the backbone of our profession, caring for patients in sickness and in health, and they are in demand today more than ever.
