About The Position

The North Georgia Advanced Practice Program (NOGAPP) is an accredited, one-year residency for new family nurse practitioners (FNPs), with a full-time employment commitment.

By the end of the residency, FNPs are expected to be productive members of the interprofessional care team who manage their patients and time with confidence and competence.
