Interested in PsychANP Fellowship Certification?

We will be accepting our next round of applications for PsychANP Fellowship Certification in early 2026!

Our process for board certification follows what other ND specialty groups have created and also creates something distinct to the specialty of mental health.

Steps for Application:

1. You can start submitting applications (proof of valid ND license + application fee + CME for Suicide and Psychiatric Emergencies).
2. After your application fee is paid, you will receive an email link to a Google Folder where your application/documentations/etc that is shared by the applicant and PsychANP. We recommend that applicants are approximately 70-80% done with their CME and patient contact requirements by the time of application.
3. Submit case studies and application. Application and case studies will be reviewed by the Certification Committee and eligibility for testing determined by the committee. Case studies are blinded and distributed to reviewers for grading. Applicants whose case studies pass the standards will be notified for their eligibility for test taking.
4. You will receive an email notification of your eligibility for test taking. Your testing date will be announced. Test results notification will be sent to you.
5. Applicant has several months after the test to complete CME and contact requirements.
6. PsychANP Certification Committee reviews applications June and November every year to grant certifications. If we have enough applicants, PsychANP plans to offer testing every year.
