The ASPMF is a one-year program comprised of five didactic and three clinical courses for a total of 18 college credit hours, which can be applied to a non-degree program. The fellowship curriculum is half-time, defined as enrollment between 4-7 credit hours in a semester. Course load is based on the MTSA Credit Hour Policy, which uses the federal credit hour definition.
Fellows begin coursework in September and complete the program within one year. Fellows simultaneously enrolled in both the ASPMF and the DNAP-C program will begin ASPMF coursework in September of their second year and complete both programs within two years. Please refer to the DNAP-C Handbook for any policies specifically related to that program.
