Medical Psychiatry, or Consultation Liaison Psychiatry (CL), is an exciting and rapidly growing field that is at the forefront of integrated medical and psychiatric practice in both the general hospital and outpatient settings. Providers specialize in the treatment of acute psychiatric disorders, including those at the interface of medicine and psychiatry, such as delirium, catatonia, neurocognitive disorders, and complications of psychiatric illness or interventions. There is a focus on the evaluation and comprehensive treatments, including psychopharmacologic and psychological therapies of patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms that may result from medical, surgical, gynecologic, and oncologic illness, as well as patients with primary psychiatric illness complicated by medical disease.
This course is designed to enhance participants’ knowledge and skills for diagnostic workup and treatment of patients suffering from both psychiatric and medical disorders. Course material will review cutting-edge clinical research, evidence-based interventions, and practical guidelines for clinicians and trainees. The course content will include the process of psychiatric assessment and consultation in the medical setting, including novel deliveries of care, management of challenging psychiatric presentations in the inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings, treatment of substance use in the medical setting, and non-pharmacological interventions.
There will also be the opportunity to discuss the psychiatric impact and management of patients in specialty settings, including burn/trauma, neuropsychiatry, addiction, critical care, cardiology, oncology, transplant, women’s mental health, and other areas. This course also provides an opportunity for a comprehensive review before the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology specialty board exams, which are being held later this year. Learners will benefit from a variety of educational formats, including lectures, case discussions, question and answer sessions, and an electronic syllabus.
