Answer the call for primary care providers.

More than 1 billion Americans visit nurse practitioners each year, making these professionals the providers of choice for many primary care services.* However, the United States currently needs more than 15,000 primary care practitioners to help fill the void in parts of the country experiencing workforce shortages.** That’s where you come in.

You’re already busy doing important work. And with an online post-master’s certificate (PMC) from Hawai‘i Pacific University’s School of Nursing, you don’t have to put that work on hold to shift your career focus. If you’re an MSN-prepared licensed NP who'd like to pursue new opportunities as a family nurse practitioner (FNP), this certificate is your next step.
