• Approval authority: the student's current program

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's curriculum, admissions status, tuition, modality, or clinical approval process, so those details must be confirmed directly with the program.

The source set was checked on July 22, 2026. It identifies MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate FNP evidence for University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. Source language can change, so keep the current program instructions that govern the student's term and ask the program to resolve anything the public page leaves open.

• Official FNP source 1, MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate: The current official institution or catalog source identifies the FNP MSN, DNP, post-graduate certificate pathway evidence.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

The proposed experience should reflect family and individual primary care from childhood through older adulthood. That does not mean every student needs the same population split or that every all-ages clinic fits. The patient mix and supervised activities must support the approved objectives.

Start with the missing competencies, then choose a setting. Family practice can offer breadth, pediatrics can strengthen child health, internal medicine can support adult care, and community or reproductive health may fill defined gaps. Formal eligibility still belongs to University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.

For this record, the official evidence names MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate. We use that verified label only to orient the request. The student's own course documents must supply the populations, setting, competencies, dates, geography, hour balance, and preceptor criteria.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the population, setting, primary care activity, and supervision it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

National figures are context, not a University of Tennessee-Chattanooga requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population focus. ANCC and AANPCB FNP certification eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact requirement.

Use the FNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

A currently licensed and appropriately certified primary care NP is a direct search target. An appropriately licensed physician may also fit when the role, population, setting, and supervision align with the course. Other clinician types belong in the search only when University of Tennessee-Chattanooga explicitly permits them.

The directory lists University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in Chattanooga, Tennessee. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since licensure, travel, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

Use the FNP placement guide for Tennessee for broader family practice, community health, pediatric, adult, older adult, and reproductive health context. Any actual candidate and site must still pass the student's current program review.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, lifespan populations, primary care setting, and required experiences
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary care role, and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where that person practices, which ages and needs are served, what the student could do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, patient populations, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit a potential match for program review.

Nothing on this page is issued by University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. FNP Preceptor independently looks for candidates against the requirements the student supplies, and the program retains full approval authority. A search may not produce an available or approved match.
