Purpose:
Increasing demands for mental health treatment represent a key opportunity for nurse practitioners (NPs) to provide more psychiatric medication treatment (psychopharmacology). Given this need, NPs could benefit from opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills in psychopharmacology.
Design And Methods:
A novel videoconference course was developed and tested, with 6 weekly sessions taught by a facilitator and a speaker, evaluated by multiple outcomes.
Findings:
Course feasibility and evidence of improved NP confidence and performance in psychopharmacology were both demonstrated.
Practice Implications:
Continuing education providers should consider adopting this model for effective and accessible NP psychopharmacology education, potentially expanding NP mental healthcare delivery.
