Treat the pathway list as an evidence boundary, not a summary of school policy. The official pages establish the AGPCNP credential routes shown here, while the current handbook and program contact remain the authorities for hours, sites, preceptors, forms, and deadlines.

Official College of Staten Island sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN and post-graduate certificate pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, and approval.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, MSN and post-graduate certificate: Current official graduate program page identifies AGPCNP master's and post-master's certificate pathways.

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.

A strong AGPCNP placement lets the student follow clinical decisions over time, not merely observe one isolated encounter. Population fit, preventive care, stable condition management, functional assessment, and care coordination all matter. The program decides how those experiences must be demonstrated.

No single site category is automatically suitable. A community health center may offer broad continuity, a geriatric practice may strengthen aging-focused care, and an approved specialty primary-care setting may fill a defined gap. The student's program must evaluate the complete proposal.

The published pathway set is MSN and post-graduate certificate. Before sourcing, separate that public fact from the student's individual clinical need. Confirm the active course, required outcomes, remaining approved hours, site boundaries, and candidate credentials with the program.

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.

Two national benchmarks are often confused: the NTF recommendation of at least 750 direct patient care hours per NP population track and the 500 faculty-supervised clinical hour floor used in certification eligibility. A student's program can require or distribute hours differently. Ask College of Staten Island to confirm the actual AGPCNP total and approved balance.

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.

A board-certified adult-gerontology primary care NP is a direct search target. Another primary-care NP or an appropriately licensed physician may also fit when the role, population, setting, and supervision match the course. College of Staten Island decides whether any individual candidate is eligible.

Begin with the geography the program approves, not an assumption based on the Staten Island campus listing. Primary-care capacity may be broader or narrower than the school location suggests. Every proposed clinician and site still needs program review.

For wider geographic context, read the AGPCNP placement guide for New York. It describes the state's adult primary-care and aging landscape without assigning a policy to College of Staten Island or claiming that a named practice accepts students.

• 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

Before submission, assemble the candidate's license and certification details, role, site, population, continuity opportunities, schedule, and fit with each objective. The program may request more information or decline the proposal. A complete file is never presented as a guarantee.

Once the current checklist is clear, send the course, term dates, approved geography, required setting, patient population, remaining hours, candidate criteria, and forms. Our placement process uses that brief to look for a possible match before the program evaluates it.

AGPCNP Preceptor has no affiliation with College of Staten Island. We help students search for potential primary-care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
