The PHCNP Diploma program is a one-year, full-time or two-year, part-time course of study for nurses who already have a master’s degree and wish to prepare for advanced practice in primary health care nursing. The program consists of courses provided through the Ontario Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner (PHCNP) program. This provides opportunities for students to develop advanced skills and knowledge in health assessment for clinical nursing roles in primary health care settings. PHCNP graduates work in a wide variety of positions in public health, long-term care, primary health care, and community settings.

Successfully finishing the program allows graduates to apply to complete the Canadian family/all-ages nurse practitioner examination and apply for Extended Class registration as a Nurse Practitioner in Ontario.
