Applications for the October 2025 program will be accepted from January 21st, 2025 through April 14th, 2025.
PCHC’s Nurse Practitioner Residency Program is a 24-month post-graduate Primary Care Residency that provides advanced clinical skills training through fully supervised, direct primary care experience within a community health center.
This intensive program is intended to prepare recently graduated FNPs (0-24 months post-graduation) to function as effective primary care providers who meet the needs of culturally diverse and clinically complex patients typical of community health centers. Candidates will independently, and incrementally, develop and maintain a continuity panel of patients, while enhancing skills in best clinical practices, population health management, and advanced practice team care that are proven to improve clinical outcomes and provider resiliency.
