The compact record supports DNP. Each label is tied to a visible official program URL below and was checked on July 21, 2026. The source proves only the named pathway at that time. It does not prove current modality, campus attendance, admission criteria, tuition, deadlines, course sequence, state availability, total clinical hours, or placement responsibility.

Confirm every unrecorded requirement with the current program. The current program makes every approval decision.

Do not treat directory inclusion as permission to contact clinicians. First ask Radford University how the current course handles placements and whether a student may propose a person or organization. The answer may depend on pathway, course, term, geography, or student status. A confirmed process protects the student, program, candidate, and site from avoidable work.

Build the request from current documents, not memory. The student should supply the pathway, course, objectives, population, dates, approved area, acceptable candidate role, site criteria, paperwork, and review sequence. When a rule is absent, ask Radford University; do not borrow a requirement from a different institution or an earlier term.

Candidate interest does not equal program acceptance. Radford University reviews the clinician and site against its current academic, credential, population, supervision, geography, compliance, and affiliation standards. Site participation may involve a separate review. Until every required approval is complete, describe the person and location as proposed rather than placed or approved.

For many psychiatric practicum searches, a board-certified PMHNP or psychiatrist is a logical candidate to screen, provided the practice fits the course. That is a planning category, not a statement of Radford University eligibility. Any other profession, specialty, or role should be considered only when current school instructions expressly permit it.

Organize the student's requirements by patient population and course objective. Child and adolescent, adult, and older-adult psychiatric care form the lifespan lens, while psychotherapy, medication management, substance-use care, inpatient or acute settings, outpatient practice, and community behavioral health can become separate search dimensions. Only current Radford University instructions determine which dimensions apply.

Possible settings can include psychiatric clinics, hospitals, private practices, community programs, substance-use services, integrated care, and telepsychiatry organizations. Listing a category does not mean Radford University accepts it or that work there will count. The program must verify the setting, population, activities, supervision, location, site participation, and documentation before any experience begins.

These are planning categories: child and adolescent, adult, and older-adult psychiatric care, plus psychotherapy, medication management, substance-use care, inpatient or acute care, outpatient care, and community behavioral health. They are not a claim that every school uses the same requirements, sequence, or distribution.

Hours must come from current Radford University instructions, not a generic PMHNP rule on a school page. Confirm the total, course allocation, populations, activities, acceptable supervision, documentation method, and any restrictions directly with the program. If documents conflict, pause planning until the school identifies which requirement controls the student's term.

The directory lists Radford University in Radford, Virginia, but that location does not establish where a student may complete a practicum. Confirm authorized states, licensure considerations, travel boundaries, site rules, and affiliation limits with the current program. The Virginia PMHNP placement guide provides regional context, not school permission.

An approval-ready file connects the current course to a specific clinician and organization. Include the candidate's role, active credentials, specialty certification, relevant practice, patient populations, location, availability, supervision plan, conflicts, and willingness to complete requested forms. Add site contacts, setting details, affiliation status, compliance materials, and the exact Radford University submission documents.

Independent support begins after proposal permission and requirements are verified. Through the placement workflow, we search against the program's actual population, role, setting, location, schedule, and document criteria. A candidate remains proposed until the school and site finish review. Start at the request form with the current instructions.

This page is independent of Radford University and does not speak for its nursing program. Psych Preceptors is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, has no approval authority, and cannot waive any requirement. Candidate sourcing never guarantees availability, placement, site participation, school approval, hours, progress, graduation, certification, or licensure.
