UCLA AGPCNP supportAGPCNP preceptor support for University of California, Los Angeles students
AGPCNP students connected with University of California, Los Angeles can ask us to search for adult-gerontology primary-care preceptors and practicum settings. The program decides what is eligible; our independent work is to source and document a possible match against the current requirements supplied by the student.
Tell us your school and city. It is free to ask, with no obligation.
UCLA AGPCNP pathway snapshot

- Approval authority: the student's current program
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.
What the official UCLA evidence confirms
Official University of California, Los Angeles sources checked July 21, 2026 support the DNP 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, DNP: Current official post-BSN DNP page lists AGPCNP.
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.
Build the adult-gerontology primary-care spine
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.
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.
Turn the UCLA pathway label into a clinical brief
A DNP listing tells us which AGPCNP route appears in the official source set. It does not tell us where a student may complete clinical work or what a program will approve. Those answers belong in the current syllabus, handbook, and direct program guidance.
Use a one-page clinical brief to explain the remaining need: course, dates, adult-gerontology population, continuity, setting, required experiences, and credential criteria. A specific brief respects the preceptor's time and gives the program a clearer proposal to evaluate.
Confirm hours and preceptor eligibility
National figures are context, not a University of California, Los Angeles requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population track. ANCC and AANPCB eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours as a floor. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact AGPCNP requirement with the program.
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.
The clinician should actively provide longitudinal primary care to the adult or older-adult population the student needs. A title without matching practice is not enough. We document the candidate and setting for University of California, Los Angeles to consider rather than declaring either one approved.
Plan the primary-care search from Los Angeles
Los Angeles, California identifies the school record but does not define a clinical territory. A student may be able to consider nearby or more distant practices only if the program permits it. We confirm those boundaries before screening candidates.
Use the AGPCNP placement guide for California 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.
Prepare a complete proposal for UCLA 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
Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where the person practices, which adults and older adults are served, what the student could do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply.
Independent AGPCNP placement support
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 is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of California, Los Angeles. We cannot guarantee that a preceptor or site will be available, that paperwork will finish by a particular date, or that the program will approve a proposal. A request starts sourcing only.
Good to know
Which AGPCNP pathways are verified for University of California, Los Angeles?
The official source set checked July 21, 2026 identifies DNP. Those labels do not establish clinical hours, delivery format, placement policy, or approval steps. Confirm the active pathway and course requirements directly with the program.
How many AGPCNP clinical hours does University of California, Los Angeles require?
This page does not assign an exact school total. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while certification eligibility sources use a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Programs vary, so confirm the student's exact current requirement with University of California, Los Angeles.
Who can precept an AGPCNP student from UCLA?
A board-certified primary-care NP or an appropriately licensed physician in a matching longitudinal primary-care role is a reasonable search target. The program decides whether a particular candidate, credential, role, and site meet the course rules.
Which clinical settings can support AGPCNP objectives?
Internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care practices may fit when the population, continuity, activities, and preceptor role align with the course. The program must review the actual proposal.
Is AGPCNP Preceptor affiliated with University of California, Los Angeles?
No. AGPCNP Preceptor is an independent service and does not represent or receive endorsement from University of California, Los Angeles. We cannot guarantee placement, a timeline, paperwork completion, or program approval.
