We are excited to announce the members of our Inaugural 2026 NP Masterclass Pilot Cohort, marking the launch of our inaugural pilot program. Inspired by five years of Virtual Rounds at the Center for Women’s Mental Health, the Masterclass brings together nurse practitioners committed to high-yield learning, case discussion, and collaborative dialogue. Since launching the pilot, participants have engaged in dynamic conversation and didactics on a wide range of topics across women’s mental health: from bipolar disorder in pregnancy and the postpartum to menopause and mood-related symptoms. The depth of case discussion and real-world scenarios has reinforced exactly why this kind of focused learning space matters.
The response to our pilot program has exceeded our expectations. We received a record number of applications–so many, in fact, that we opened a summer NP Masterclass cohort to expand access to this learning community.
We’re honored to recognize the exceptional clinicians admitted to our inaugural cohort. This group represents diverse geographies, disciplines, and experience levels, united by a shared commitment to advancing the field of women’s mental health.
Interested in joining the next cohort? Applications for the summer Masterclass are open, but spots fill quickly. We encourage you to apply soon to be part of the next learning cycle.
We are incredibly proud of this inaugural group and grateful for the thoughtfulness, curiosity, and clinical insight they bring to every session.
