Pediatrics Nurse Practitioner Primary Care (Advanced Certificate)
Program Description
On the front lines of healthcare delivery, nurses are experts in a variety of sub-specialties. As a nurse practitioner, you’re able to focus on particular types of advanced nursing practice to further advance your career. If you already have a master’s degree in nursing and would like to refine your practice to a specific patient population, an advanced certificate program at NYU Meyers is a terrific way to demonstrate that knowledge.
