AGPCNP preceptor support for Duke University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Duke University
• Directory location: Durham, North Carolina
• Verified pathways: MSN and post-graduate certificate
• 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

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.

As of July 21, 2026, the official links below identify MSN and post-graduate certificate for the AGPCNP specialty at Duke University. That supports directory inclusion and pathway labeling only. It does not authorize us to infer a practicum rule from a degree name.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP MSN | Duke School of Nursing).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (MSN Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Curricula).
• Official AGPCNP source 3, post-graduate certificate: Current official post-graduate certificate page lists Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Primary Care among the certificate offerings.

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.

Keep continuity at the center of the AGPCNP request. The student needs supervised primary-care work with adults and older adults, including health promotion, chronic disease management, medication review, and age-aware follow-up. The approved course objectives determine whether a particular practice fits.

The search can span ambulatory internal medicine, adult health clinics, geriatric practices, community clinics, long-term care, and specialty practices that deliver genuine primary care. We screen the work that happens there, while Duke University decides whether the actual preceptor and site satisfy the course.

The record identifies MSN and post-graduate certificate. 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.

Break the practicum into the competencies that remain unmet. The search can then prioritize the right service and clinician instead of asking broadly for any AGPCNP preceptor. The program still reviews the combined picture and can request a different arrangement.

Hour language needs careful attribution. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while ANCC and AANPCB eligibility sources set a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Only the program can translate those standards into this student's current course and remaining need.

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.

Credentials start the review, but they do not finish it. We gather the prospective preceptor's license, certification, current primary-care role, experience, patient population, site, and availability. The student's program applies its own current criteria and makes the approval decision.

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

Pair this record with the AGPCNP placement guide for North Carolina when considering travel and setting supply. The guide is not a list of guaranteed sites, and the program remains the approval authority.

• 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.

The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for longitudinal primary-care fit without claiming authority we do not have.

This is independent placement support, not a school service or endorsement. We can source and organize a candidate file for Duke University to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
