The Department of Health, Medicine, and Human Biology (UFR SMBH) of the Sorbonne Paris Nord University (USPN), in partnership with the Théodore Simon Interhospital Training Institute (IFITS), is launching an advanced practice nurse (APN) program with a certification in psychiatry and mental health.

This article discusses the features of the APN certification in psychiatry and mental health, as well as the potential benefits of this profession for patients and the healthcare system more broadly. It also introduces the innovative education program implemented by the USPN and IFITS, which adopts a theoretical framework from the field of nursing science.
