About Us
NPAC-AIIPC is the national voice for Nurse Practitioners (NPs), with the goal of advocating for, and reducing barriers to NP practice.
Nurse Practitioners provide patient care, while also working to improve practice and community/population health, using evidence-informed, best practice and research to develop, implement and evaluate care. NPs work collaboratively with other members of the healthcare team.
