• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: San Diego State University
• Directory location: San Diego, California
• 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

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's exact curriculum or the school's clinical approval process, so the search should pause until those requirements are confirmed directly with the program.

The source set was checked on July 21, 2026. It identifies MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate AGPCNP evidence for San Diego State University. Source language can change, so save the current program instructions that govern the student's term and ask the program to resolve anything the public page leaves open.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner | SDSU).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Post-Masters Doctor of Nursing Practice (MSN - DNP) | SDSU).

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.

A practical search often considers several parts of the care landscape: internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease programs, and approved specialty primary-care clinics. We do not promise that a named practice will be accepted before program review.

For this record, the official evidence names MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate. 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.

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 San Diego 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 useful candidate combines a relevant license or certification with day-to-day work in adult primary care, internal medicine, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, or an approved specialty primary-care setting. Only San Diego State University can accept that proposed match.

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

The AGPCNP placement guide for California adds state-level context for internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, and long-term care. Apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the student's program.

• 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.

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.
