A published AGPCNP page confirms a current pathway, not every operational detail around clinical education. Use the links below as the source record, then verify the student's course documents before contacting a preceptor or site.

The directory uses the official AGPCNP pages available on July 21, 2026. They support MSN as the pathway set for this record. Any detail that is not explicit in those pages remains unclaimed and must be confirmed with the program.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Nursing, MS - Saint Joseph's College of Maine).

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.

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 Saint Joseph's College of Maine.

For this record, the official evidence names MSN. We use that verified label only to orient the request. The student's own course documents must supply the setting, population, competencies, dates, geography, and preceptor criteria.

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.

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 Saint Joseph's College of Maine 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.

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.

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

Use the AGPCNP placement guide for Maine for broader primary-care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, and chronic disease context. Any actual candidate and site must still pass the student's current program review.

• 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.

Bring the current syllabus or checklist, the student's schedule and geography, the adult-gerontology primary-care objectives, the remaining approved hours, and the candidate forms. That evidence keeps the search aligned and gives the program a clear proposal to consider.

This is independent placement support, not a school service or endorsement. We can source and organize a candidate file for Saint Joseph's College of Maine to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
