AGPCNP preceptor support for University of Washington students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Washington
• Directory location: Seattle, Washington
• 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.

Official University of Washington sources checked July 21, 2026 support the DNP and post-graduate certificate 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: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner - UW School of Nursing).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Certificate - UW School of Nursing).

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.

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.

The published pathway set is DNP and post-graduate certificate. 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.

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.

National figures are context, not a University of Washington 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.

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.

Seattle, Washington 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.

The AGPCNP placement guide for Washington 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

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.

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 Washington to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
