‘Valuable supplement to C-L Psychiatry education at academic institutions’
CLP 2021 produced several outstanding workshops that could be a valuable supplement to C-L Psychiatry education at academic institutions. ACLP’s Online Education, Residency Education, and Medical Student Education Subcommittees completed an initial review of the education content from the conference and identified ones that were relevant and useful for medical students and residents.
Check out these and other CLP 2021 sessions that are freely available for review here on the ACLP website—and please promote them at your institutions!

Pearls and Pitfalls in Submitting to the Official Journal of the ACLP
This workshop from the JACLP editorial team explains the submission and review process for prospective authors and interested readers of the journal. It explains the various types of submissions, and identifies ones that are well suited for a trainee. This is a useful guide for residents who may be interested in publishing their first paper!
This workshop discusses the concept of diagnostic C-L Psychiatry, a process to understand treatment resistant depression (TRD) in various medical illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation. Also discussed is an approach to management of TRD in medical subpopulations including neuromodulation approaches such as ECT, TMS, and magnetic seizure therapy.
Acute and Chronic Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of COVID-19
This group of talks describes the gamut of neuropsychiatric symptoms that can be seen in the acute setting of COVID-19 and long-term recovery issues including post-acute sequelae of COVID or long COVID. Practical tips on managing delirium in COVID patients are discussed, as well as the approach to long COVID workup and treatment.
Current Controversies in Agitation Management in the Emergency Department
Agitation is a frequent reason for psychiatric consultation, and this group of talks discuss cutting-edge issues that arise in the management of agitation, especially in the emergency department.
AIM to Learn: Actioning on Implicit (Biases) and Microaggressions in the Learning Environment
The talk overviews DEI-related definitions, while simultaneously conducting an action-oriented overview and approach to microaggressions and discrimination that can and do impact medical students.
Think You Know How to Spot Catatonia? Let’s Talk About That
This presentation reviews the diagnostic criteria of catatonia, particularly focusing on the Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS). The presenters offer an in-depth review of catatonia features most frequently confused/missed on exam and an approach of evaluation of catatonia in delirium and coma.
