Goals of Program: Advanced training in psychopharmacology has prepared graduates to prescribe and to consult.  As our expertise is accepted, many of us find that we are being referred more complex cases.  The goals of this two-day seminar are: 1) to present updates on new medications, medications in the pipeline, and relevant lab tests; 2) to update latest information on a number of topics such as child psychopharmacology and bipolar disease; 3) to address specialty areas such as RxP and Neurological Conditions (including brain injuries); 4) to introduce cutting edge topics such as Mood, Molecular Nutrition, and Psychopharmacology.

The exact schedule is posted at the end of this page.
