This track prepares the student to practice at an advanced level to provide evidence-based family centered care to children from birth through adolescence. Pediatric primary care nurse practitioners (PNPs) provide the initial, ongoing, and comprehensive care to patients in a variety of settings including: private offices, community clinics, newborn nursery, schools and in program-based specialty areas that manage chronically ill patients across the disease spectrum. PNPs assess, diagnose, and treat acute and chronic illnesses and are responsible and accountable for providing preventative health care, including health promotion, disease prevention, and health education and counseling.
