A precepting placement built specifically for PMHNP and family NP students. Psychiatric evaluation, psychopharmacology, integrated therapy techniques, documentation, and the practice-building knowledge most programs do not teach.
PMHNP students leave the rotation with both the clinical and operational fluency required to practice independently — across populations, presentations, and settings.
Comprehensive evaluation of pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients. Differential diagnosis, formulation, and treatment planning across the major DSM categories.
Medication selection, dosing, monitoring, side effects, and combination strategies — applied to real patients with input on your decision-making, not just observation.
Exposure to evidence-based psychotherapy techniques you can integrate into medication-management visits — CBT, MI, SFBT, IPT, and psychodynamic listening.
Practice-ready documentation. CPT coding for psychiatric visits. The 90833 psychotherapy add-on for prescribers — what it is, when to use it, and how to document it correctly.
Suicide risk assessment, safety planning, and crisis-level clinical decision-making with direct supervision and feedback.
How PMHNPs work alongside therapists, primary care, and case managers — the integrated-care framework that defines modern psychiatric practice.
Include your program, expected start date, hour requirements, and learning goals.
A 30-minute conversation to confirm fit and review program requirements.
We coordinate directly with your school's clinical-placement office.
Onboarding orientation, supervision schedule set, clinical work begins.
Availability varies by semester. PMHNP placements often fill 6–12 months in advance — earlier inquiries get the best fit on dates and population focus.
