 Education Council
The purpose of the Education Council is to provide a forum and to identify issues as related to the
education of psychiatric-mental health nurses, specifically to the Advanced Practice Nurse. Two
major projects developed and coordinated by the Education Council are the Integrated Practice Guidelines as
part of the Primary Mental Health Project and the Pre-Conference Workshop at the 2000 ISPN Conference.
The Integrated Practice Guidelines Project is a collaborative effort with the Center for Mental Health Services at
the National Institute of Health and with the assistance and guidance of Ronald Manderscheid, PhD, Chief
Survey and Analysis Branch Division of State and Community Systems Development. Two Expert Panels, one on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD Panel)
, and one on Family Violence have been convened.

The Panels and Education Council are in the process of the development of guidelines, which should be available on this Website in the near future.
The Education Workshop will address educational preparation for the Advanced Practice Nurse in psychiatric-mental health nursing. The Workshop objectives are:
1. Understand the current context for clinical practice addressing legal, definitional, curricular, and scope of practice issues.
2. Discuss the essential knowledge and competencies for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse.
3. Differentiate the practice domain of the Clinical Nurse Specialist and the Nurse Practitioner in psychiatric-mental health nursing.
4. Identify certification requirements for advanced practice psychiatric nursing.
