AGACNP preceptor support for Oregon Health and Science University students
Our role for Oregon Health and Science University AGACNP students is focused: search for a qualified acute-care preceptor and a site that can support the approved clinical objectives. We do not represent the school, and no candidate is described as accepted until the program completes its own review.
Tell us your school and city. It is free to ask, with no obligation.
OHSU AGACNP pathway snapshot
- Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
- School: Oregon Health and Science University
- Directory location: Portland, Oregon
- Verified pathways: DNP
- Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
- Clinical population: adults and older adults with complex, acute, critical, or unstable conditions
- Approval authority: the student's current program
The evidence explains why Oregon Health and Science University appears in this directory. It cannot be stretched into a claim about how the school arranges placements, which clinicians it accepts, how long review takes, or how many hours a particular student needs.
What the official OHSU evidence confirms
Official Oregon Health and Science University sources checked July 21, 2026 support the DNP pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, and approval.
- Official AGACNP source 1, DNP: Current official specialty page identifies the AGACNP DNP pathway.
These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.
Define the AGACNP patient and acuity focus
Begin with the patient acuity and course outcomes. AGACNP preparation concerns episodic, complex, and critical illness across adulthood and older adulthood, including frail older adults. It is not an FNP or adult-gerontology primary-care rotation, and an ambulatory setting does not become acute care simply because an NP works there.
Clinical setting and clinical role have to align. An inpatient address can still be a poor AGACNP match if the preceptor's work or patient mix does not meet the objectives. We compare ICU, step-down, emergency, hospitalist, and inpatient specialty options against the student's confirmed course request.
Turn the OHSU pathway label into a clinical brief
For this record, the official evidence names DNP. We use that verified label only to orient the request. The student's own course documents must supply the setting, population, competencies, dates, geography, and preceptor criteria.
Use a one-page clinical brief to explain the remaining need: course, dates, adult-gerontology population, acuity, setting, required experiences, and credential criteria. A specific brief respects the preceptor's time and gives the program a clearer proposal to evaluate.
Confirm hours and preceptor eligibility
Do not calculate this student's need from a national number. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while AGACNP certification eligibility materials refer to a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. The current program determines the applicable total, course allocation, simulation treatment, and remaining balance.
Use the AGACNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.
The clinician should actively practice in the acute or inpatient work the student needs. A matching board-certified acute-care NP or licensed physician is a reasonable search target, but credentials alone do not establish eligibility. The program reviews the person's role, background, site, and proposed supervision.
Plan the acute-care search from Portland
Use Portland as a directory reference only. The student's residence, state authorization, licensure context, commuting limits, and program instructions can produce a different search area. No city or state mention on this page promises site availability.
Our AGACNP placement guide for Oregon explains where acute-care roles tend to cluster across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.
Prepare a complete proposal for OHSU review
- The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
- The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, patient acuity, and setting
- The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, acute role, and availability
- The site's service line, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
- Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program
Document the clinical match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, adult-gerontology acute-care role, site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can still require separate site review, agreements, compliance items, or other steps that we cannot approve.
Independent AGACNP placement support
The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for acute-care fit without claiming authority we do not have.
We do not represent Oregon Health and Science University and have no authority to approve a clinician, site, schedule, or clinical plan. Our independent role is limited to searching and documenting a possible match. Availability, review time, and the final program decision cannot be guaranteed.
Good to know
Which AGACNP pathways are verified for Oregon Health and Science University?
The official source set checked July 21, 2026 identifies DNP. Those labels do not establish clinical hours, delivery format, placement policy, or approval steps. Confirm the active pathway and course requirements directly with the program.
How many AGACNP clinical hours does Oregon Health and Science University require?
This page does not assign an exact school total. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while certification eligibility sources use a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Programs vary, so confirm the student's exact current requirement with Oregon Health and Science University.
Who can precept a OHSU AGACNP student?
A board-certified acute-care NP or an appropriately licensed physician in a matching acute or inpatient role is a reasonable search target. The program decides whether a particular candidate, credential, role, and site meet the course rules.
Which clinical settings can support AGACNP objectives?
ICU, step-down, emergency, hospitalist, trauma, surgical, and inpatient specialty services may fit when the adult-gerontology population, acuity, activities, and preceptor role align with the approved objectives. The program must review the actual proposal.
Is AGACNP Preceptor affiliated with Oregon Health and Science University?
No. AGACNP Preceptor is an independent service and does not represent or receive endorsement from Oregon Health and Science University. We cannot guarantee placement, a timeline, paperwork completion, or program approval.
