ACLP 2024
An Advanced Practice Provider Skills Course was again held at the Annual Meeting. The half-day skills course covered essential C-L psychiatry topics, including medication safety in medically ill patients, psycho-oncology, and navigating challenging interpersonal dynamics with patients and staff. This course built on the inaugural APP skills course in 2023. Clinically relevant didactics were led by physicians and interactive case discussions were co-facilitated by physicians and APPs. Longitudinal themes incorporated in case discussions included psychopharmacology, medication monitoring, liaising and relationship building skills, identifying one’s scope, and utilizing team resources.
