Careers
Graduates of the Adult-Gero Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Cincinnati meet educational requirements to take exams for national certification. Adult-Gero Primary Care NPs who work in specialty clinics sometimes pursue additional certifications in their sub-specialty focus area.
