About AANPCB AANPCB was established by Dr. Jan Towers PhD, NP-C, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP in 1993 as the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program (AANPCP) for the purpose of providing a valid and reliable program for the evaluation of individuals wishing to enter, continue, and/or advance in the Nurse Practitioner profession through the certification process. Effective January 2017, AANPCP changed its business name and acronym from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program (AANPCP) to the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB). Because AANPCB offers more than one certification program, Certification “Board” more accurately represents and describes the full scope of the AANPCB certifying organization
