Paid Family Nurse Practitioner Resident

HealthFirst's Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Residency is a paid twelve-month, post-graduate program launching in September. Designed to provide continued support after twelve months to new nurse practitioners as they transition into independent practice, community-based primary care for complex and underserved populations across the lifespan. Through structured mentorship, specialty rotations in women's health, pediatrics, adult medicine, obesity, Hepatitis C, behavioral health, and addiction medicine that strengthen comprehensive primary care skills, and hands-on clinical experience, residents build the clinical expertise, operational confidence, and professional judgment needed to thrive in a primary care setting. The residency is followed by a one-year employment commitment, offering a valuable opportunity to further refine skills within a supportive environment in a full-time nurse practitioner role.

Clinical Training & Educational Experience

Each resident is precepted by an attending provider for the full year to ensure strong supervision and continuity of care. Residents work alongside experienced preceptors and interdisciplinary team members with varied expertise.

The curriculum includes weekly didactic sessions, daily primary care support, and frequent shadow sessions with experienced providers in specialty rotations. Learning is further strengthened through extensive orientation, structured mentorship, routine feedback, and completion of a Quality Improvement Project. There are protected hours for didactic, support, and mentorship sessions.
