title: Psychiatric-mental health nursing at the interface: revisioning education for the specialty.
abstract: In the emerging health care environment, families and communities are facing a broad range of conditions that require more integrated views of wellness and illness, mind and body, and the biomedical and the behavioral. This also calls for an enhanced care delivery system. Three interfacing areas of practice have particular significance for the psychiatric-mental health nursing workforce: enhanced primary care, public health or population-focused health interventions, and managed care. This paper addresses the broad range of knowledge, skills, and competencies that are required for the future of advanced practice psychiatric-mental health nursing and describes interactive learning experiences and new pedagogies to deliver them.
