Objective:

Reflect on the role of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the context of Brazilian primary health care.

Method:

Results:

there are favorable areas for the work of APN in primary health care, especially in the family health strategy. Professional master’s degree and nurse residency programs constitute powerful training spaces. As a challenge, standardized definition of the roles of advanced practice nurses and of minimum training for work are necessary.
