A postgraduate fellowship program that provides supervision and additional training specific to community psychiatry facilitates the transition from novice provider to experienced clinician while aiming to improve retention rates. In this Open Forum, the authors outline the structure of a federally qualified health center's Community Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner Fellowship.
