Find a Nurse Practitioner in Maryland and D.C.

To locate an NP near you, click on our link to FIND A NP where you can search by county.  NPs must request to be listed on our website. Students are not eligible.  NPAM offers this as a service to consumers and Maryland NPs and does not imply preference of one practice over another.  NPAM makes every effort to update information.  NPAM is not responsible for outdated or invalid information.

If you are a Maryland NP and would like to be listed with your practice information, please download and complete the NP Profile Form (in Word format) and mail, fax, or email the information to the NPAM office per the information provided on the form.
