For Psychiatric-Mental Health NP Students

Find a PMHNP Preceptor
— Including Telepsych.

Psych preceptors are scarce. Preceptor.Network surfaces PMHNPs, psychiatrists, and behavioral-health providers — outpatient, inpatient, child/adolescent, addiction, and telepsych — filtered by your school's clinical rules.

"There are maybe six PMHNPs within an hour of me and all of them are 'full this semester.' My program won't let me push my graduation back another six months."

Psych preceptors are a genuine shortage.

There are not enough psychiatric-mental health providers — full stop. That makes finding a PMHNP preceptor harder than other APRN tracks. The good news: telepsych is now widely accepted, addiction medicine and integrated behavioral health have grown fast, and PMHNP students who broaden their geography (telehealth) or credential acceptance (psychiatrists, behavioral-health NPs in primary care) usually find a match much faster.

PMHNP preceptor FAQ

Who can precept a PMHNP student?
A PMHNP, a psychiatrist (MD or DO), or another credential your program accepts for the rotation. Some PMHNP programs also accept primary-care providers for the medical-management portion of behavioral-health hours. The matcher uses your school's acceptance rules as the filter.
Are telepsych preceptors a real option?
For many PMHNP programs, yes. Telepsych is now an accepted clinical setting at most accredited PMHNP programs — particularly for outpatient psychiatric-mental health hours. Some programs cap the percentage of hours that can be telehealth. The matcher shows whether the preceptor offers telehealth and what your program allows.
I need a child/adolescent rotation. Is that filterable?
Yes. Population focus is a first-class filter — child/adolescent, adult, geriatric, lifespan. You only see preceptors who actually treat the population you need clinical hours in.
What about inpatient psych or addiction medicine?
Both are filterable. Inpatient psychiatric, addiction medicine, and integrated behavioral health are first-class settings in the matcher. Most PMHNP programs accept a mix of inpatient and outpatient hours — your program's rules determine which the matcher surfaces.
What does a PMHNP match cost?
$10 flat per confirmed match request. Browsing is free, no subscription, no five-figure placement fee. Preceptors never pay to be on the platform.
