The Real Problem with PMHNP Education & How to Overcome It
In this video, I, a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience coaching over 160 PMHNPs, discuss the major flaws in PMHNP education. Sharing personal anecdotes and industry insights, I highlight the lack of clinical instruction, scarcity of good preceptors, and inadequate hands-on training in PMHNP programs. I also shed light on the challenges new PMHNPs face, including finding preceptors and collaborators, dealing with predatory workplaces, and overcoming skepticism from peers and patients. I emphasize the importance of mentorship and offer solutions on how to become an exceptional psychiatric provider, including through specialized PMHNP coaching programs.
