Prepare to play a critical role in the future of acute-care.

Adult Gerontology – Acute care nurse practitioners (NPs) care for patients struggling with acute, chronic, or critical conditions. Today, only 3.4% of all NPs specialize in adult-gerontology acute care (AGACNP).* As our population continues to age, including more than 77 million baby boomers by 2034, demand for AGACNP’s will continue to rise.**

AGACNPs can also play a critical role in serving on the front lines during an epidemic or pandemic helping to diagnose and treat threatening medical conditions in adults. Currently, nurses are in short supply and high demand, and Regis is more committed than ever to help fill that void.
