Women's Health Nurse Practitioner
Women’s health nurse practitioners (NPs) provide comprehensive care to women, supporting their general health across the lifespan. They also provide sexual and reproductive health care to men.
We prepare our graduates for practice with an emphasis on reproductive, gynecologic, and well-women health and to understand how psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual influences may affect women’s health.
Where They Work
Women’s health NPs work in hospitals, community health centers, private practices, managed care settings, schools, and universities. They provide the following services:
OB/GYN
Primary care
Fertility care
Reproductive health
Breast and GYN oncology
Urogynecology
Our women’s health nurse practitioners also conduct research, serve as case managers, and educate patients, groups, communities, and health care professionals.
