Enthusiastic Sign-Up for Inaugural APP Skills Course
Aimed at enhancing skillsets in C-L Psychiatry
One hundred attendees pre-registered for the Academy’s inaugural Advanced Practice Provider Skills Course and Career Panel.
Tina Beizai, MD, FACLP, DLFAPA, chair of the organisers, the Academy’s Interdisciplinary Education Subcommittee, says: “We have been finalizing the didactics and interactive cases and are pleased to report that the course has been responded to enthusiastically.
“Of note, attendees cover a wide range of professions—including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians.
“We are looking forward to active discussions of the cases, with a focus on expansion of knowledge and on the sharing of professional perspectives and teamwork. An APP career panel follows, which will be an excellent opportunity to discuss career pathways and networking opportunities.”
Tina Beizai, MD, FACLP, DLFAPA, addresses the audience of mostly APPs.
Speakers at Wednesday’s CLP 2023 preconference event paired off to give joint presentations—one APP delegate with one MD delegate.
Hema Kher, MD, Emory University School of Medicine, paired up with Beth Heaney, PMHNP [primary mental health nurse practitioner}, DNP, University of Rochester, to give a presentation on delirium.
Background to the course—primarily for nurse practitioners and physician assistants to enhance their knowledge and skillsets in C-L Psychiatry—was reported in ACLP News here.
The Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a professional organization of physicians who provide psychiatric care to people with coexisting psychiatric and medical illnesses, both in hospitals and in primary care. Our specialty is called consultation-liaison psychiatry because we consult with patients and liaise with their other clinicians about their care.
With nearly 2,000 members, the Academy is the voice of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the US with international reach.
Please browse our website, read our journal, Psychosomatics, and come to our annual meeting which is in November each year. In 2020 it will be a virtual event – see www.CLP2020.org for more details.
