For PMHNP Students

Clinical Preceptorship Program

Supervised, high-quality clinical rotations for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner students β€” bridging classroom learning with real-world psychiatric practice.

The Opportunity

Learn Psychiatry Where It Happens

Securing a qualified preceptor is one of the most common barriers PMHNP students face on the path to graduation. Our clinical preceptorship program pairs graduate nursing students with a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) for supervised, direct patient care hours that meet accreditation requirements.

Students rotate through a real outpatient psychiatric practice β€” observing evaluations, building diagnostic reasoning, and progressively participating in medication management and psychotherapy decision-making under direct supervision.
