The adult-gerontology nurse practitioner – primary care (AGNP-PC) major in the Duke MSN Program focuses on developing the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver nursing care to individuals from adolescence to older adulthood across primary care settings, including those in rural and under-served areas. The AGNP-PC major prepares advanced practice nurses as generalists in adult primary care in a wide variety of settings, including private practices, public clinics, hospital-based outpatient clinics, and specialty practices. Graduates from the AGNP-PC major are well-prepared to provide culturally competent, evidence-based, state-of-the-art primary medical care to patients from adolescence (>13 yrs) through senescence. Graduates practice in a wide variety of outpatient settings ranging from small community health centers to retail clinics to large academic medical centers.

This major is also available as a Post-Graduate Certificate.
