“I would not be the practitioner I am today without CFG’s APN Residency. I was the first APN to complete the residency in 2015. The individual clinical guidance and mentorship I received was exactly what I needed to help refine my diagnostic skills, psychopharmacology knowledge, and therapeutic interventions. This additional supervised training helped to bridge the gap between academic preparation and independent practice. The education and support I continually receive has been the foundation of my practice. It has allowed me to confidently provide competent, evidence-based, and effective care to all of my clients in any setting. In addition to the education and support, the most meaningful aspect of the program has been the lifelong friendships I have developed with other APNs and physicians. “
