Description
This completely free, year-long series provides live access to dozens of expert faculty from the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry. In each of the 20 one-hour sessions, broadcasted in Boston, MA, you have the opportunity to not only hear the latest evidence-based research and data, but also ask clinical questions that help you translate that research into your daily clinical practice and care for patients.
Topics in this interactive series focus on unmet psychopharmalogical treatment needs for patients with psychosis, depression, autism, anxiety, substance abuse and more. Faculty include some of the world’s leading clinician-researchers in their respective fields, and they discuss effective evidenced-based psychopharmacological strategies, management of somatic symptoms and medication side effects, and best-practice psychopharmacological approaches to psychiatric disorders in special populations.
- Every session includes live Q&A with faculty – yet each session is also available on-demand, so you can view the entire series or a single session at any time during the year.
- Use these sessions to educate your entire staff in a community hospital or practice, or simply stay up-to-date as an individual clinician.
- Earn CME/CE credits for physicians, psychologists, nurses and social workers.
