The MSU Adult Gerontology Primary Care (AGPCNP) Nurse Practitioner program is designed to meet the great need for providers specialized in the care of the older adult. MSU graduates of the AGPCNP program are educated to provide care to individuals ages 13 and older with a focus on the frail older adult.

Graduates can be certified to work in clinics such as adolescent health, internal medicine, senior health care, long term care, and sub-acute rehab.

The program is led by Dr. Kara Schrader who has more than 30 years of experience as a registered nurse and more than 15 years as a family nurse practitioner.
