AGPCNP preceptor support for UTHealth Houston students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: UTHealth Houston
• Directory location: Houston, Texas
• Verified pathways: DNP
• 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.

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 admissions policy and curriculum identify the AGPCNP DNP track; the certificate route remains on hold and is excluded.

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.

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 UTHealth Houston decides whether the actual preceptor and site satisfy the course.

The record identifies DNP. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, or clinical dates. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search so a pathway label is never treated as a policy.

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 UTHealth Houston 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.

A useful candidate combines a relevant license or certification with day-to-day work in adult primary care, internal medicine, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, or an approved specialty primary-care setting. Only UTHealth Houston can accept that proposed match.

Begin with the geography the program approves, not an assumption based on the Houston campus listing. Primary-care capacity may be broader or narrower than the school location suggests. Every proposed clinician and site still needs program review.

For wider geographic context, read the AGPCNP placement guide for Texas. It describes the state's adult primary-care and aging landscape without assigning a policy to UTHealth Houston or claiming that a named practice accepts students.

• 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.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, continuity needs, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit a potential match for program review.

Nothing on this page is issued by UTHealth Houston. AGPCNP Preceptor independently looks for candidates against the requirements the student supplies, and the program retains full approval authority. A search may not produce an available or approved match.
