Psychiatric Mental Health
This 21-25 credit hour program consists of five online didactics and two variable credit clinical courses.
Alumni Spotlight
I desired to have more opportunities to integrate psychiatric care into more traditional medical care. I believe that our patients deserve to be cared for as a whole person and that there is a need for more holistic care that addresses both the physical and psychiatric aspects of a person’s health.
