New Track Offers Immediately Useful Clinical Information

The new Clinical Updates Track will offer an ocean of clinical pearls to gather. The track features 19 sessions that will cover a plethora of topics and is designed for psychiatrists who are seeking practical information to incorporate directly into practice. Topics dovetail with those required for certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

The sessions (marked by ψ in the scientific program) will provide a brief overview of each topic, then cover how to conduct assessments and make diagnoses; how to address a patient’s primary complaint among other problems or conditions that need to be addressed during a typical psychiatry outpatient visit; guidance on when to refer a patient to a specialist; and evidence-based strategies for treatment, including the latest medications and therapies. The sessions will also allow time for questions and answers. ■
