Why finding an AGPCNP preceptor is so hard
Your program wants geriatric hours, and many other students are calling the sites that offer them.
Geriatric sites fill first
Your program almost certainly requires dedicated geriatric hours in a skilled nursing facility, assisted living community or geriatric clinic. Those sites get student requests constantly and rarely have an open slot.
A narrower pool than FNP
You need an adult-focused preceptor: an internist, a geriatrician, an AGPCNP, or an FNP whose panel skews adult. Pediatric and mixed-age family practices don't count toward your hours, which rules out a large share of the clinics near you.
500 hours to fill alone
AGPCNP programs ask for at least 500 clinical hours, often 750 or more, and the geriatric-specific portion has to come from qualified sites. Filling those hours by phone can take months.
How to find an AGPCNP preceptor
Post one request and let qualified AGPCNP preceptors come to you.
1
Sign up free
Create your account in about 2 minutes and submit a placement request with your AGPCNP details: the primary care settings you want, the geriatric hours your program mandates, the preceptor type it accepts, your total hours, and whether you need home-based or transitional care exposure.
2
Receive preceptor offers
We notify matching AGPCNP preceptors and geriatric providers in your area, and interested preceptors send you offers directly. Our AI preceptor outreach also recruits geriatric providers from outside our network for your rotation.
3
Start your rotation
Compare offers, confirm the setting satisfies your program's geriatric requirement, then choose the best preceptor. Pay nothing until you accept an offer. We handle the credentialing paperwork between you, your preceptor and your school. You're protected by our Money Back Guarantee if your school rejects the preceptor or the preceptor cancels.
AGPCNP preceptors are joining our network every week.
Takes 2 minutes. No credit card required.
What to look for in an AGPCNP preceptorship
Your AGPCNP preceptorship focuses on chronic disease management in adults and older adults. You'll work in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, primary care clinics with a geriatric focus, and memory care units.
A strong adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner preceptor handles polypharmacy, advance care planning and the layered multimorbidity that defines older-adult practice. Your hours count toward AGPCNP-BC or AGNP-C eligibility, and most programs want continuity-of-care visits rather than acute encounters alone.
If your program needs a specific setting, we filter for it. We handle NP preceptor placement with your school directly, including the paperwork. Students on other tracks search the same way for AGACNP hours, FNP rotations or WHNP placements. See how NP clinical placement works on every other track.
Why AGPCNP students choose Clinical Match Me
Built for the track where geriatric hours decide everything.
Preceptors with adult-gero panels
Our network includes AGPCNPs, adult-focused FNPs, internists, geriatricians and PAs in primary care. We match you to preceptors whose patient population fits AGPCNP scope, from community health centers to geriatric specialty clinics.
Outreach that finds geriatric sites
Geriatric placements are among the hardest to fill, so we recruit for them directly. Our outreach contacts providers at skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and geriatric practices outside our network and recruits them for your rotation.
$0 until you accept an offer
Sign up, submit placement requests and message preceptors for free. Pay only after a preceptor sends you an offer and you accept it. The $1,995 NP preceptor cost is the flat rate most preceptors charge, and payment plans are available.
Money Back Guarantee
If your school rejects the preceptor, or the preceptor cancels at any point, choose a full refund or a new preceptor. Any reason counts.
AGPCNP preceptors in all 50 states
Rural and suburban geriatric practices have providers who want to teach and almost never hear from a student. Our outreach finds them.
You choose from multiple offers
More than one AGPCNP preceptor can offer you a placement. Compare their settings, geriatric mix and locations side by side, then accept the one that fits your schedule and your program.
Thousands of NP students found their preceptor through us
We've placed students since 2014, and anyone can check our ratings.
Many AGPCNP students find us after weeks of cold calls. Some students receive their first offer within 24 hours. Read Clinical Match Me reviews on Trustpilot and Google, or watch their student testimonials on video.
Students post their reviews on Trustpilot and Google once they know whether the preceptor showed up, whether the school signed off, and whether we did the paperwork we promised.
Geriatric sites turn away more AGPCNP students than they take, so the reviews worth your time come from students who secured a placement.
AGPCNP geriatric settings your program will count
Most AGPCNP programs specify 100 to 200 hours in a geriatric-specific setting, and the setting itself decides whether the hours count. Not every adult primary care site earns geriatric credit.
Skilled nursing facilities are the most common site. You'll see long-term residents, post-acute rehab patients and end-of-life needs, which builds complex polypharmacy management, pressure injury prevention, advance care planning and functional assessment. Assisted living is less intensive: residents are more independent, so you focus on preventive care, chronic disease management and coordination with family caregivers, and programs often pair it with SNF hours to reach the total.
Geriatric primary care clinics serve adults 65 and over, and many programs treat them as the core AGPCNP rotation. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes and focus on cognitive and functional assessment, deprescribing conversations and care coordination. PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) adds care coordination and social determinants exposure for frail elders living at home, and hospice or palliative rotations may count depending on your program.
When you submit your placement request, we filter for geriatric-credentialed settings in your area. Our network spans geriatricians, AGPCNPs, adult-focused FNPs practicing in geriatric settings, PACE preceptors and palliative care NPs, so you can tell us the setting your program demands rather than hoping one turns up.
AGPCNP preceptor questions students ask
Common questions from adult-gerontology primary care students.
What type of preceptors qualify for AGPCNP clinical rotations?
You can usually rotate with an adult-gerontology primary care NP, an FNP in an adult-focused practice, an internist, a geriatrician or a PA in primary care. What matters is that the practice serves adults and older adults rather than a mixed-age panel. We verify preceptor credentials before matching.
Can you find geriatric preceptors?
Yes, and it's the request we get most. Placements at skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and geriatric clinics are among the hardest to secure, and we place AGPCNP students in them regularly. When no geriatric preceptor is free in our network, our outreach contacts geriatric providers in your area and recruits one for your rotation.
How is AGPCNP placement different from FNP placement?
An FNP student can rotate anywhere that sees patients across the lifespan, pediatrics included. You can't. Your preceptor's practice has to focus on adults and older adults, which rules out pediatric clinics and family practices carrying a heavy pediatric caseload. We match you specifically to adult primary care, internal medicine and geriatric settings that satisfy AGPCNP requirements.
How much does it cost to find an AGPCNP preceptor through Clinical Match Me?
Registration is free and you pay nothing until a preceptor sends you an offer and you accept it. Most preceptors charge a flat rate of $1,995 for rotations up to 250 hours. That price includes our fee and the preceptor's honorarium (their compensation for teaching you). A smaller group of preceptors charge hourly rates, which vary by individual. If you'd like to spread out the cost, payment plans are available. See the full NP preceptor cost breakdown.
What if my school rejects the preceptor I choose?
Choose either a full refund or a new preceptor. The same applies if your preceptor cancels at any point.
What clinical settings are available for AGPCNP rotations?
Our AGPCNP preceptors work in internal medicine offices, geriatric clinics, adult primary care practices, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, assisted living communities, home health agencies and community health centers. Most programs accept any outpatient or transitional care setting where you manage adult and older adult patients.
Will my school accept a preceptor I find through Clinical Match Me?
Yes. We verify preceptor credentials before matching, so schools approve most of our preceptors. We also handle the paperwork between you, your preceptor and your school. If your school rejects the preceptor, you're protected by our Money Back Guarantee. Choose a full refund or a new preceptor.
How many clinical hours do AGPCNP rotations typically require?
AGPCNP programs require at least 500 total clinical hours, and many now require 750 or more across rotations in adult primary care, geriatrics and chronic disease management. Individual rotations run 120 to 250 hours each. Specify your exact hours and patient population in your placement request. Our flat rate applies to rotations up to 250 hours.
When should I start looking for an AGPCNP preceptor?
As early as you can. Geriatric and adult primary care sites get competitive in cities where several programs draw from the same providers. Many students are placed within days, but the sooner you submit your placement requests, the sooner we can place you. If your program also needs acute care hours, request an AGACNP rotation alongside it. Registration is free and you owe nothing until you accept an offer.
