The Ohio Psychiatric Physicians Association (OPPA) will host its Annual Psychiatric Update virtually on April 2, 2022. This year’s program, Hot Topics in Psychiatry: Advancing Clinical Care While Surviving the Pandemic’s Impact, will bring together thought leaders and experts from across the nation, who will address topics that psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians routinely encounter. The pandemic has heightened the awareness of both physical and mental/behavioral concerns in all populations in the state of Ohio. It has been nearly two years since COVID-19 created the challenges that our patients face, including illness, loss of employment, financial problems, lack of food, closed schools and loss of life. It has all taken a tremendous toll on our patients from a social, emotional, and vocational perspective and the effects will be long-standing. At the same time, the field of psychiatry continues to see advances in the field. This educational activity will address both pandemic-related mental health issues and new advances in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Learn from experts from Yale University, School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Tulane University School of Public Health, and the Cleveland Clinic. This event is designed for psychiatrists, residents/fellows, medical students, and psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, and other mental health care professionals may find it of interest. This event is approved for 5 hours of Category 1 CME. Click HERE to register.
