*Session 2: Advances in Psychopharmacotherapy and Therapeutic Neuromodulation (July 24-28)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 24, 2017 to July 28, 2017

This course will review the concepts of evidence-based and measurement-based care and use them to develop optimal treatment strategies for major psychiatric disorders.  Participants will recognize the significant number of patients who are insufficiently responsive to initial therapeutic interventions and will utilize available biological treatments optimally, including the first and second generation antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizing agents, anxiolytic/sedative hypnotics, and therapeutic neuromodulation.  Participants will also develop treatment strategies based on the results of randomized-controlled and pragmatic trials tempered by the realities of clinical practice, and incorporate clinically relevant issues related to drug therapy including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug interactions.
