The Master of Nurse Practitioner Practice (MNPP) degree is a clinical graduate program that prepares registered nurses for advanced clinical practice in the role of a Nurse Practitioner (NP). Program completion is required for eligibility to write a nurse practitioner licensing exam for entry-to-practice as a Nurse Practitioner in Canada in either the All Ages All Settings or Neonatal category of practice. The program offers preparation in advanced clinical knowledge for assessment, intervention, and clinical management across the lifespan, with diverse populations and in a variety of practice settings (acute, primary and community).

The MNPP degree expands upon registered nurse competencies, developing advanced understanding of pathophysiology of disease, diagnosis and management of medical conditions, and enhanced primary care prevention and screening. Graduates integrate nursing knowledge and health evidence to inform decisions related to clinical practice, policy development, educational approaches, leadership within clinical settings, and quality improvement and research.
