The University of San Francisco, School of Nursing and Health Professions offers a post-graduate Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certificate and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certificate, which are available to RN’s with a doctorate degree in nursing (DNP or PhD). These certificates are intended to meet the needs of doctorally-prepared nurses interested in practicing in the Nurse Practitioner role.
