Adult-Gerontology - Nurse Practitioner

Cupola atop a building on the Molloy University campus

AGNPs specialize in comprehensive healthcare for adults across the lifespan from adolescence (13) to old age; they work in primary care clinics and private offices.

For the APRN who wants to add an Adult Gerontology Care focus to their certifications, you can obtain a Post Masters Certificate as an AGNP. The Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program prepares nurse practitioners with extensive clinical practice and role preparation for advanced practice in young adults, adults, and older adults. Students develop competencies in assessment, diagnosis, health promotion, and disease management in primary care settings. Students work with nurse practitioners and physician preceptors, where they experience learning in various clinical agencies and practice settings.
