An Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) is a nursing professional who specializes in providing healthcare services to adults and older adults. They are trained to assess, diagnose, and manage a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions commonly found in the adult and geriatric population.
A post-master’s Doctor of Nurse Practitioner (DNP) program is an advanced nursing degree designed for nurses who have already completed their Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree and want to further advance their knowledge and skills. The DNP program emphasizes evidence-based practice, leadership, and advanced clinical skills, which allows nurses to assume a greater role in providing primary care services.
The AGNP-DNP program combines the two specialties, providing nurses with advanced training in adult-gerontology care and preparing them to assume leadership positions in healthcare organizations. This program focuses on enhancing the nurse practitioner’s ability to provide comprehensive care to adult and older adult patients, including the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of complex medical conditions. Graduates of this program are prepared to assume roles as clinical experts, educators, researchers, and leaders in healthcare organizations.
