Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Programs
Assessment and treatment of mental health conditions across the lifespan.
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a clinical or functional track, not a degree name: it is offered within MSN, DNP or post-master's certificate programs. Schools appear here when they reported graduate awards in this field to IPEDS or when we verified a program with this track.
