Project TEACH has collaborated with the National Curriculum for Reproductive Psychiatry (NCRP). We are offering scholarships to five New York State (NYS) prescribers (MD, DO, NP, PA, CNM) who are interested in this intensive reproductive psychiatry training program designed to help you better serve the psychiatric needs of individuals across the reproductive lifespan (e.g. menses through menopause).

The scholarship provides financial support to attend the NCRP Intensive Practicum, a 3-day women’s mental health training program (February 22-25, 2026 in North Carolina) and become an expert clinician in perinatal mental health by passing the NCRP Expert Clinician Certification Exam.
