Three Focus Live sessions will be held at APA's 2009 annual meeting during
which an audience-response system (ARS) will be used to allow participants to
test their knowledge. The 90-minute interactive sessions will cover topics
from APA's continuing medical education journal, Focus: The Journal of
Lifelong Learning in
Psychiatry.
During the sessions, experts will lead lively discussions based on
multiple-choice questions that the audience answers using the ARS. The ARS
instantly projects a histogram on a screen, allowing each participant to
compare privately his or her responses with the responses of others in the
audience, and offers a new and entertaining way to learn.
Sessions will be moderated by the editors of Focus, Deborah Hales,
M.D., and Mark Rapaport, M.D., and held in the Moscone Center Gateway
Ballroom. The schedule, topics, and presenters are as follows:
PTSD and Disaster Psychiatry
Panic and Social Anxiety Disorder
