PMHNP Virtual Preceptorship Program

Augustin Psychiatric Associates is now presenting a new Virtual PMHNP Preceptorship Program now accepting students for Summer 2024.

The Augustin Psychiatric Associates Clinical Preceptorship Program aims to provide a high-quality clinical experience for current Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) students. The clinical practicum is a critical component that fulfills the requirements for graduation and prepares students for professional success in the field of mental health care.

During the preceptorship, students will have the opportunity to work closely with our lead psychiatric nurse practitioner Sheila Jourdain CRNP, PMHNP,, who will provide individualized guidance and mentorship. This close collaboration ensures that students develop the necessary clinical knowledge and assessment skills required to deliver excellent mental health care and achieve professional success.

Clinical practicums form a crucial element of nursing education, serving as a bridge that links academic theory to real-life healthcare scenarios. These immersive experiences enable students to translate their didactic education into clinical practice, gain hands-on experience while fostering the development of novel clinical skills. In essence, the Augustin Psychiatric Associates Virtual Clinical Preceptorship Program presents an invaluable platform for PMHNP students to acquire experiential knowledge. This program offers more than just practical training; it provides students the opportunity to gain insights from a seasoned practitioner. Furthermore, it equips the student with the requisite skills to excel in their impending careers in the mental health care sector. 

*It's important to note that the program is conducted entirely telehealth and on-site is not an option at this time. This ensures that students have the experience of mastering the art of providing virtual care. All patients are over the age of 18, there are no children being seen at this time.
