This supervised preceptorship experience provides the student with opportunities to practice and demonstrate advanced practice nursing knowledge learned in previous didactic courses, and continue to refine skills for assessing, diagnosing, managing, and preventing major psychiatric and mental health disorders that occur in childhood and adolescence. The emphasis is placed on working with pediatric patients and families with mental health care needs in primary care and acute mental health care settings.
