• 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 directory uses the official AGPCNP pages available on July 21, 2026. They support DNP 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, DNP: Current official DNP page identifies the AGPCNP BS-to-DNP pathway.

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 clinical spine is longitudinal adult-gerontology primary care. A useful experience supports prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management for adults and older adults with stable or chronic conditions. Adolescents belong in the plan only when the student's program explicitly includes them.

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 University of Massachusetts Lowell.

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.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the patient population, continuity, setting, and supervised activity it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

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 Massachusetts Lowell'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.

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 Massachusetts Lowell to consider rather than declaring either one approved.

The directory lists University of Massachusetts Lowell in Lowell, Massachusetts. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since travel, licensure, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

Pair this record with the AGPCNP placement guide for Massachusetts when considering travel and setting supply. The guide is not a list of guaranteed sites, and the program remains the approval authority.

• 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 University of Massachusetts Lowell to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
