The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program equips students with advanced skills to deliver mental healthcare to patients of all ages and their families in diverse clinical environments.
The curriculum trains future practitioners to address psychiatric conditions spanning from wellness promotion and prevention to severe, chronic mental health disorders. By integrating foundational theories, empirical research, and a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual-cultural model, students develop robust clinical expertise. The program's coursework and practicum experiences align with the psychiatric-mental health competency standards established by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) and fulfills the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's (AACN) Master's Education Essentials. With significant demand for PMHNPs in healthcare, program graduates consistently find strong employment opportunities upon completion.
