A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is a registered nurse (RN) with advanced education and training. Their goal is  to  help  people  be  as  healthy  as  possible.  Family  Nurse  Practitioners  advocate  for  health  promotion  and  disease prevention.  These  professionals  teach  people  ways  to  stay  healthy  and  treat  them  for  acute  illness  (e.g.  colds)  and chronic  diseases  (e.g.  diabetes). Family  Nurse  Practitioners  may  perform    health    histories,  physical        assessment    and examinations,  order  and  interpret  diagnostic/laboratory  studies,    diagnose    and    treat    common    illness   and  minor injuries, make referrals to specialists, counsel and teach health and nutrition, prescribe/manage medication therapy and provide continued/follow–up and coordinate care for patients  at  any  stage  of  development  throughout  the  individuals  life  span.

Students are taught through a holistic perspective with a multidisciplinary and collaborative focus throughout the life span of the patient. Students are exposed to educational activities that will prepare them to increase health promotion, preventive health, and provide primary care services. Students will contribute to decrease morbidity and mortality in medically underserved, low-income populations, both globally and in Puerto Rico.
