  • May serve as a collaborating physician/clinical supervisor for psychiatric Nurse Practitioners as needed 

  • Incorporate principles and practices of modern clinical psychiatry, including abnormal psychology, diagnostic interviewing, community psychology, and community mental health 

  • Deliver care that is culturally sensitive and accessible to a diverse patient population
