FNPs become primary care providers for medically stable patients across the lifespan, from infants to older adults.
UIC’s FNP program prepares graduates for community-based, lifespan primary care. With a focus on preparing primary care providers to work in underserved communities, the FNP program prepares graduates for independent practice as a member of multidisciplinary health care teams. Graduates are highly sought after by employers, and they practice in primary care settings throughout the country.
The FNP program—available as part-time program only—is delivered in a hybrid (online/in-person) format. Foundational courses are primarily online with modest on-campus commitments, two to three times per semester. Once a student enters the FNP-specific coursework, courses are online with on-campus sessions every three to four weeks.
At UIC Nursing, DNP students are not responsible for finding their own clinical sites; practicum sites and highly qualified preceptors are arranged for students by faculty.
