Essential Psychiatric Skills for the Palliative Care Practitioner

Essential Psychiatric Skills for the Palliative Care Practitioner is a full-day workshop designed to use a combination of interactive case-based learning with engaging didactics to draw together practical considerations in assessment and diagnosis with evidence-based psychopharmacotherapy and psychotherapeutic techniques to enhance treatment planning and expand clinical interventions for the emotional distress associated with serious medical illness. Five interprofessional clinicians with backgrounds in psychopharmacology, psychiatry, child psychiatry, combined internal medicine/psychiatry, hospice and palliative medicine will provide practical approaches to these and other diagnostic and treatment challenges in order to strengthen and expand the knowledge base of primary psychiatric skills for palliative practitioners from a variety of background disciplines and settings. The content being presented in this course is relevant to physicians, advanced practice professionals, and pharmacists with the aim to strengthen and expand the knowledge base of primary psychiatric skills for palliative practitioners from a variety of backgrounds, career stages, disciplines, and settings of care.
