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 University of California, San Francisco 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 specialty page directs applicants to the BSN Entry to DNP pathway; UCSF states new MSN and post-master's certificate admissions are closed.

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 placement should reflect the primary-care needs of adults across aging, from routine prevention through multimorbidity and frailty. That does not make every adult-facing clinic eligible. The proposed patient mix and activities must support the student's approved competencies.

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 University of California, San Francisco decides whether the actual preceptor and site satisfy the course.

The published pathway set is DNP. 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.

Translate each objective into observable primary-care work before outreach. One course may emphasize prevention and diagnostic reasoning, while another may emphasize chronic disease management, medication review, care coordination, or age-aware follow-up. This objective map helps avoid a willing candidate whose daily role cannot support the required experience.

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 University of California, San Francisco'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.

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.

Use San Francisco 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.

Our AGPCNP placement guide for California explains where longitudinal adult and older-adult care may be found across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.

• 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.

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.

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.
