There are few if any and those are mainly filled before they are even posted. Health promotion is relatively new and my plan would be to work towards opening up my own clinic when able. It's different in the fact that most insurances don't cover 'health promotion' and instead choose to pay to manage someone's diabetes instead of preventing it in the first place. Going into it I know that finding a job will not be easy but I'm more interested in creating a business catering to those who choose to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hello, I've been considering furthering my education and I've been looking into NP programs lately. All the programs I've found are for either Acute care, Gerontological or family practice. My major interest is in fitness and if working as a practitioner I would truly enjoy working in a field such as longevity and/or health promotion. Does such a specialization exist for the NP role or is this a case where someone would go to NP school as family practice and then start working in the field of health promotion once they finish NP school. Thanks Brian07
