PMHNP Preceptorship | My Wellness Psychiatry
At My Wellness Psychiatry, we are committed to training the next generation of psychiatric providers through our psychiatric nurse practitioner preceptorship program. We offer in-person preceptorships for PMHNP students who want hands-on experience in a real-world mental health clinic. Our program provides students with a welcoming, professional, and supportive learning environment that combines both clinical training and professional development, preparing them for success in their future careers.
Our psychiatric practice serves patients ages 4 and up, giving students exposure to psychiatric care across the lifespan. This allows PMHNP students to gain experience with a diverse range of cases, from child and adolescent psychiatry, to adult mental health, to geriatric psychiatry. Students learn how treatment plans are individualized for conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions, building a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric care. We also incorporate integrative psychiatry approaches, exposing students to holistic and complementary treatment strategies alongside conventional care.
During their psychiatric preceptorship, students can expect to:
Observe and participate in patient visits, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up appointments.
Gain exposure to child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric psychiatry, preparing them to work with patients at all stages of life.
Meet with pharmaceutical representatives and learn about new psychiatric medications and treatments entering the market.
Develop clinical documentation skills by reviewing patient cases, preparing charts, and learning effective note-taking.
Experience the day-to-day operations of a psychiatric practice, including care coordination, record review, and collaboration with other providers.
Learn about nationwide resources for patients, including local and regional treatment centers, virtual IOP (intensive outpatient) programs, non-pharmacological treatment options, genetic testing, and integrative or complementary approaches.
Advance their knowledge daily through mentorship, discussions, and direct involvement in clinical practice.
At My Wellness Psychiatry, we go beyond basic observation. We equip our students with resources that help them become competent, well-rounded psychiatric nurse practitioners. Upon completing the program, students become part of our alumni network of past preceptees. This community offers ongoing value, including job opportunities, mental health career updates, continuing education events, and networking with other PMHNPs.
All preceptorships are conducted strictly in person at our office in Deerfield Beach, FL. We are open Monday through Thursday, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm. We do not offer virtual or online psychiatric preceptorships, as we believe students gain the most meaningful clinical experience through direct, face-to-face learning in a live patient care setting.
