“CPI was well balanced, with a variety of subjects, information, and research. The speakers were outstanding. I was glad that several speakers brought up different ideas about diagnosis, DSM 5-TR and medication usage. These ideas can lead to thinking deeply about care that is being provided.”
– Pam Marcus, RN, APRN, PMH-BC
Master your psychopharmacologic nursing practice across the lifespan.
The APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute (CPI) delivers psychopharmacology updates to professionals looking to provide the best possible care to their patients.

It offers the scientific base for treatment decisions and addresses the context of care within the nurse/consumer/family relationship.

The APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute is appropriate for RN-PMH and advanced practice psychiatric nurses (PMH-NP & PMH-CNS) – especially those who administer and/or prescribe medications. Because CPI is planned for nurses, by nurses, the program provides a depth and breadth of scientific information tailored to the challenges inherent in psychiatric-mental health nursing practice. All other health care providers interested in psychopharmacology are welcome for advanced study, especially fellow nurses, primary care physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and pharmacists.
