Overview

The Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) program at University of Virginia is an advanced practice nurse prepared to manage adolescent and adult gerontology patients with acute or critical illness or injury and/or chronic disease across the trajectory of their care needs. UVA's program emphasizes the advanced theoretical knowledge, practice and skills, and systems’ leadership needed to manage these patients and their families for optimal outcomes.

AGACNP students also develop exceptional diagnostic and clinical decision-making skills, preparation for prescriptive authority, strategies to communicate and collaborate with clinicians and all members of the interdisciplinary team, and the ability to manage and improve clinical outcomes. A keen focus on evidenced-based practice, teaching and clinical research are also program hallmarks.

The AGACNP track offers baccalaureate-educated nurses with at least one year of full-time RN experience the opportunity to advance their practice as nurse practitioners and advanced practice nurses. The AGACNP is offered at the MSN, certificate, and DNP levels.
