Primary Care
Nurse Practitioner residents are responsible for a panel of approximately 180 primary care patients. Primary care clinics are mentored by NP faculty to facilitate competency in patient-centered care, clinical reasoning and health systems.
Specialty Rotations
The Boise VA Primary Care NP Residency is proudly under accreditation review by the Commission on Collegiate Nurse Education (CCNE).
The Boise VA Medical Center established the Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (NP) Residency in 2012 to support new NP graduates in the first year of practice and to add depth to the postgraduate inter-professional training. The program is a challenging opportunity for new NP graduates who are interested in a demanding academic learning environment. We provide high-quality Veteran care by bridging professions, challenging norms, and inspiring future healthcare leaders.
