What to Look For as a New Grad PMHNP

Fellowship Programs

PMHNP fellowships are typically 1-year programs with reduced caseloads, weekly supervision, and structured didactic training. They're excellent for building confidence.

Collaborative Agreements

Many positions offer collaborative physician relationships for new grads. This provides a safety net while you develop independent practice skills.

Reasonable Expectations

Quality employers offer gradual caseload increases—starting with 4-6 patients per day and building to full productivity over 6-12 months.

Setting Selection

Consider your comfort level: outpatient offers predictability, while inpatient provides more acute experience. Community mental health centers often welcome new grads.
