AGPCNP preceptor support for University of Illinois Chicago students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Illinois Chicago
• Directory location: Chicago, Illinois
• Verified pathways: 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.

As of July 21, 2026, the official links below identify DNP and post-graduate certificate for the AGPCNP specialty at University of Illinois Chicago. That supports directory inclusion and pathway labeling only. It does not authorize us to infer a practicum rule from a degree name.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, DNP and post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (AG-PCNP post-DNP certificate | College of Nursing | University of Illinois Chicago).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner | College of Nursing | University of Illinois Chicago).
• Official AGPCNP source 3, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Nursing Practice (Professional Program: DNP) at University of Illinois Chicago Academic Catalog).

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.

No single site category is automatically suitable. A community health center may offer broad continuity, a geriatric practice may strengthen aging-focused care, and an approved specialty primary-care setting may fill a defined gap. The student's program must evaluate the complete proposal.

For this record, the official evidence names 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.

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 University of Illinois Chicago 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.

Use Chicago 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.

Use the AGPCNP placement guide for Illinois 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

Document the match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, adult-gerontology primary-care role, site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can require additional review or documents that we cannot approve.

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.

AGPCNP Preceptor has no affiliation with University of Illinois Chicago. We help students search for potential primary-care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
