The family (individual across the lifespan) CRNP master’s program prepares advanced practice nurses to be providers of primary care for individuals and families across their life spans. A holistic approach to management of family health through interdisciplinary collaboration is a primary emphasis of this advanced practice role. Primary care occurs in a number of settings; therefore, experiences may be found in community health centers, senior and child daycare centers, family practice settings, schools, college health centers, occupational/industrial health offices, home health agencies, and hospitals. Critical thinking, decision making, and leadership skills are fostered.
