This directory entry rests on official current evidence for DNP at Regent University. The source is suitable for identifying the PMHNP pathway, not for filling gaps about modality, admission, tuition, length, clinical totals, rotation sequence, authorized states, site eligibility, or student proposals. Those questions need direct confirmation from the active program.

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 Regent 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.

A usable placement request starts with the student's current requirement packet. Pull out the course objective, population focus, term, allowed geography, setting needs, candidate qualifications, supervision plan, forms, compliance documents, and submission channel. Keep unknown items marked for Regent University confirmation so the search stays aligned with the actual course.

Keep sourcing and approval as separate stages. We can locate a person whose practice appears aligned and collect facts for review. Regent University alone determines eligibility and may assess credentials, patient mix, objectives, supervision, conflicts, location, site capacity, contracts, and compliance materials. A title or license by itself never settles that review.

Start candidate screening with the exact role named by the program. A board-certified PMHNP or psychiatrist may be possible when the clinician's practice, population, and supervision fit the course, yet Regent University still controls eligibility. Do not assume that credentials, prior teaching, or willingness alone make a candidate acceptable.

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 Regent University instructions determine which dimensions apply.

A setting can look clinically relevant and still fail a program rule. Hospitals, outpatient psychiatry, private practice, community behavioral health, addiction services, integrated care, and telepsychiatry are examples to investigate only. Regent University must decide whether the proposed environment supports the required population, work, oversight, location, records, and institutional process.

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.

The official pathway evidence does not establish clinical hours. The student needs Regent University's current requirement for the exact pathway and course, including how the total is distributed and recorded. Avoid estimates drawn from another program, credential, or catalog year. A search brief should use only the figures and categories the active program confirms.

Virginia Beach, Virginia is identity context for Regent University, not evidence of delivery or clinical eligibility. Ask the program which locations are permitted for the student's pathway and term. For a broader view of psychiatric settings, read the PMHNP guide for Virginia, then apply only the geography and site criteria Regent University confirms.

Documentation should show why a candidate appears relevant without calling the candidate approved. Record credentials, psychiatric role, practice population, setting, dates, availability, oversight, conflicts, site participation, and paperwork status. Map those facts to each course objective and use Regent University's own forms so reviewers can apply the current requirements efficiently.

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.

Psych Preceptors is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by, or acting for Regent University. The school name identifies the student's program context. We cannot approve a clinician or site and do not guarantee a match, availability, acceptance, hours, course completion, certification, licensure, graduation, or any other outcome.
