2020 Annual Meeting Course Section: Why a Course?

Want an option for an intensive learning experience? Don’t want to fight the crowds when you head to a popular talk by a national or international expert? Want a chance to ask more than one brief question at the end of one of the many general sessions? Want an opportunity to talk to an expert, learn a new skill, or sharpen your current skills with the latest information? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, then consider taking a course at APA’s Annual Meeting! These are four-hour, in-depth offerings on a wide variety of subjects including psychotherapy, cannabis, neuropsychiatry, global mental health, technology, forensic psychiatry, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and public speaking.

Want something more? Try a master course, an eight-hour intensive learning experience that will hone your skills in areas such as psychopharmacology, motivation interviewing, suicide assessment, management of first-episode psychosis, and office-based buprenorphine treatment. Each of these includes receipt of an APPI-published book on the course’s topic by the experts teaching the master courses.

Due to their popularity, courses fill fast, so don’t delay. Register for the Annual Meeting today and be sure to get a seat in your first-choice courses. ■
