The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined nine broad areas of core
competence that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF
created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in
2017. This course was designed to prepare you to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and to
apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative
communities.
The nine areas of competency are:
Scientific Foundations
Leadership
Quality
Practice Inquiry
Technology and Information Literacy
Policy
Health Delivery System
Ethics
Independent Practice
