"Outstanding courses, clinicals, & professors from Penn established a firm foundation for me to start my career. Although practicing in a specialty has allowed me to become an expert in one area, I continue to rely and draw on my training in Primary Care to provide the best care from my patients."

Sharon L. Hunter MSN, CRNP

"Penn’s Primary Care Program provided the resources and knowledge for me to function independently and confidently as a nurse practitioner. Since graduation, I am glad to say, I have been able to positively impact the lives of many children and families. Penn opened the door for me to have a successful and satisfying career as a PNP."

“The education that I received truly prepared me for the boards. When I took the National Certification Examination, I felt as though I was taking a midterm examination at Penn. I enjoy my role as director and PNP in a primary care program that provides care to children in 48 villages in rural Southwest Alaska."

My area of interest is adolescent health. Penn’s Primary Care program gave me the foundation to understand this population. Today I practice in an urban setting. I collaborate with various disciplines involved in improving the health and welfare of adolescents. I carry out researched based interventions and evaluate their impact on health and developmental outcomes to improve the lives of my patients.
