Mission

The mission of the Institute for Family Health Family Nurse Practitioner Residency is to prepare nurse practitioners to provide outstanding primary health care services and advance scholarship in medically underserved communities. Our New York City based residency program leverages the strengths of advanced practice nursing and the community health center model of care to provide a comprehensive and effective training experience in an urban environment. The year-long residency prepares nurse practitioners to work in interdisciplinary teams and to take on leadership roles in the field of primary care.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Residency is sponsored by the Institute for Family Health, a not-for-profit federally qualified health center in New York, in collaboration with Mercy University.
