AGPCNP preceptor support for Baptist Health Sciences University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Baptist Health Sciences University
• Directory location: Memphis, Tennessee
• Verified pathways: DNP
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with stable or chronic conditions that benefit from ongoing care
• Setting landscape: internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care settings
• Approval authority: the student's current program

The evidence explains why Baptist Health Sciences University appears in this directory. It cannot be stretched into a claim about how the school arranges placements, which clinicians it accepts, how long review takes, or how many hours a particular student needs.

We verified the listed DNP evidence on July 21, 2026. Each link belongs to the institution or its official catalog and names the AGPCNP specialty. The student's present course materials still control the clinical request.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, DNP: Current official DNP page lists primary-care Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner as a specialty.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

Longitudinal reasoning is the thread that connects adult primary care and geriatrics. The student should be able to assess risk, manage stable or chronic problems, revisit treatment plans, coordinate care, and respond to changes within primary-care scope. The program retains the final decision on fit.

Start with the missing competencies, then choose a setting. Adult primary care and internal medicine can support longitudinal volume; geriatrics and long-term care can add frailty and functional assessment; community health can add access and population context. Formal eligibility still belongs to Baptist Health Sciences University.

The record identifies DNP. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, or clinical dates. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search so a pathway label is never treated as a policy.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the patient population, continuity, setting, and supervised activity it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

National figures are context, not a Baptist Health Sciences University requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population track. ANCC and AANPCB eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours as a floor. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact AGPCNP requirement with the program.

Use the AGPCNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

Preceptor screening asks whether the clinician's credential and real work align with the approved AGPCNP objectives. Adult-gerontology primary care NPs, other appropriate primary-care NPs, and physicians may be search candidates, but the program controls the final eligibility rules.

The directory lists Baptist Health Sciences University in Memphis, Tennessee. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since travel, licensure, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

Our AGPCNP placement guide for Tennessee explains where longitudinal adult and older-adult care may be found across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, continuity objectives, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary-care role and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

An approval-ready proposal identifies the clinician's credentials, current primary-care role, practice setting, patient population, availability, and connection to the course objectives. It also includes the forms supplied by the student. This organization supports review but cannot replace any program step.

A search request works best when it includes the active course, dates, location limits, primary-care setting, adult-gerontology population, competencies, hour need, preceptor rules, and approval documents. See how the process works, then bring the current program materials.
