Adult-­gerontology NPs provide comprehensive care, including wellness and acute and chronic illness care to patients from late­ adolescence through adulthood to the elderly. They emphasize health promotion, disease prevention and comprehensive gerontological assessment. They practice in a wide variety of locations that include hospitals, urgent and primary care settings, community clinics, long­term care facilities and private practice.

The adult-­gero NP major requires 41 hours of coursework, plus about 600 hours of clinicals. The coursework is usually completed within 18 months (four semesters) for full-­time students, and courses are offered in a distance-friendly format.
