AGPCNP preceptor support for Ohio State University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Ohio State University
• Directory location: Columbus, Ohio
• Verified pathways: MSN, DNP, 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.

Official Ohio State University sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN, DNP, 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, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Post-Master's Study Option | College of Nursing).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Online AGPCNP Doctorate Program | Ohio State Online).
• Official AGPCNP source 3, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program | College of Nursing).

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.

The clinical spine is longitudinal adult-gerontology primary care. A useful experience supports prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management for adults and older adults with stable or chronic conditions. Adolescents belong in the plan only when the student's program explicitly includes them.

Potential settings include internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care practices. A setting name alone proves nothing. Patient mix, continuity, supervised activities, and course objectives must align before the program reviews it.

The published pathway set is MSN, DNP, 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.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target population, continuity, care setting, procedures or skills, and expected level of participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

The hour plan must come from the student's program record. Nationally, NTF recommends a 750-hour direct patient care minimum for an NP population track, and the certification bodies publish a 500-hour faculty-supervised eligibility floor. Neither figure is presented here as Ohio State University's rule. Confirm the exact current requirement before sourcing.

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. Ohio State University decides whether any individual candidate is eligible.

Use Columbus as directory context only. Residence, state authorization, licensure, commuting limits, and course instructions may produce a different search radius. No city or state reference on this page promises availability.

Pair this record with the AGPCNP placement guide for Ohio 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

A strong packet connects evidence to the course. Include the proposed preceptor's credentials and primary-care role, the site's patient mix and continuity model, the expected experiences, dates, schedule, and every program form the student has received.

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.

We do not represent Ohio State University and have no authority to approve a clinician, site, schedule, or clinical plan. Our independent role is limited to searching and documenting a possible match. Availability, review time, and the final program decision cannot be guaranteed.
