There is much discussion among Psychiatric providers as to whether or not it is our role to provide therapy along with medication management. There are differences of opinions between PMHNP’s and PMHCNS’s. The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification & Education (LACE) made for much of this discussion to take place. In your opinion – Should we be providing therapy, are we trained to provide therapy, did LACE change the face of PMH education and the role?
