Program Overview
The Psychiatric and Mental Health (PMH) Advanced Nurse Practitioner certificate program is designed for a certified nurse practitioner (NP) with a master’s or doctoral degree who would like to expand their scope of practice to provide psychiatric and mental healthcare to clients, families and communities. This certificate program is approved by the Georgia Board of Regents as a web-based program with greater than 50% of the program taught online. Due to the progressive nature of the specialty courses, the program is typically considered part-time (less than nine credit hours per semester). A minimum of 19 credit hours and 549 clinical hours are required, but individuals may be required to complete additional hours of up to 750 clinical hours based on an individualized gap analysis that is mandated by the National Taskforce Standards. This is an embedded or standalone certificate.
