Located within Peak Vista Community Health Centers, our APRN Fellowships include a well-established Primary Care Fellowship program and the new Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program. Both Fellowships offer five full-time employed positions for transitioning or recently graduated licensed APRNs who desire to increase their practice competence and confidence in a progressive, collaborative learning environment.
The 12-month programs combine mentorship, problem-based learning, and hands-on clinical experience. Both Fellowship experiences are primarily in the Integrated Fellowship clinic and host unique rotations within Peak Vista which complement each program. The Primary Care program includes out-rotations with Women’s Health Services, Pediatrics, and some specialties such as endocrinology. The PMHNP program includes out-rotations with Inpatient, Crisis, Developmental Disabilities Health Center, and Primary Care.
To provide exceptional health care to people facing access barriers and to provide exceptional opportunities for recently graduated Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) to transition seamlessly from the academic to the clinical setting, and to facilitate the transition to practice for experienced Nurse Practitioners who have been out of the workforce or in another specialty.
