MSN/Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (MSN/PMHNP)
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) address the clients through inter-disciplinary and team-based care that places the patient and family at the center of care. PMHNPs help patients by providing therapies, medications, care coordination and more. We use an evidence-based approach to educate PMHNPs to meet the mental health needs of clients in school systems, community clinics, substance abuse treatment centers, private offices, shelters, hospitals, and more.
