The program is a collaborative endeavor between Drexel University and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner program. Applicants must be graduates of a NPWH-accredited program, must be intending to enroll in such a program, or may be enrolled concurrently in both the NPWH-accredited program and the University.

Graduates are eligible for licensure as women’s health care nurse practitioners by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and to take the NCC’s certification examination.
