Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate
With California facing an urgent and growing shortage of mental health professionals, the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis collaborated with the UCSF and UCLA Schools of Nursing to launch a new remote-access training that will prepare 300 psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) over five years.
The first remote-learning, postmaster’s certificate of its kind in California, this training launches at a time when a shortfall in mental health providers continues to grow across California. Over 50% of people with mental illness in the state are not receiving psychiatric care, and many communities in the San Joaquin Valley and Inland Empire have only half as many psychiatrists as other parts of the state.
This PMHNP postmaster’s certificate training is a 12-month hybrid that combines remote-access education with three in-person sessions and regional clinical training across California. Students can stay in their communities to complete their training.
Upon completion of this training, students sit for the American Nurses Credentialing Center national certification to become a PMHNP.
