PMHNP Preceptorship for School Clinical Hours (California Telehealth)

Looking for a PMHNP preceptorship in California to complete unpaid school clinical hours? Integrative Psychiatry & Wellness (IPW Health) accepts a limited number of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) students for preceptorship through California telehealth.

This page is an interest form by email—not a job posting and not a paid mentoring package.

Who this is for

This unpaid PMHNP preceptorship California track is for:

• Students enrolled in a PMHNP (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) program
• Students who need school clinical hours / preceptorship toward program requirements
• Students who can complete clinical time by telehealth with patients in California
• Students who can confirm California RN / NP student status as required for this track

If you are a therapy student (for example LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or psychology trainees seeking therapy placement), this page is not the right fit.

What we offer

At a high level, IPW Health offers:

• An unpaid preceptorship for PMHNP school clinical hours
• Clinical experience with our psychiatric nurse practitioner team
• Placement delivered via California telehealth for this track

Exact schedules, hour totals your school requires, and start timing depend on your program, your school’s affiliation process, and our availability. We do not list guaranteed hours, start dates, or a public school affiliation list on this page.

What this is not

To keep expectations clear:

• Not a paid job or fellowship. There is no stipend or employment offer on this page. For paid clinician openings, see our Careers page.
• Not a paid 1:1 mentoring package for licensed NPs. This track is school clinical preceptorship for PMHNP students only.
• Not therapy student placement. We are not placing counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, or psychology students through this page.
• Not an in-person Mission Viejo clinical track. For this unpaid school-hours preceptorship, clinical time is California telehealth only.
