The primary care adult-gerontology nurse practitioner concentration prepares the nurse for a leadership role in the health-care system. Clinical and theoretical content focuses on systems thinking, evidence-based practice, and translational research as related to the primary health-care needs of adults across the age spectrum, in consultation and collaboration with primary care physicians and other health-care providers. The curriculum prepares the student to be certified as an adult-gerontology nurse practitioner by the state of California, the American Nurses Certification Corporation, and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
