Session 3: Updates in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry: 2016 (July 25-26)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 25, 2016 to July 26, 2016

Psychosomatic Medicine, also referred to as Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, is the subspecialty of psychiatry dealing with complex comorbid psychiatric and medical illness.  It is estimated that over ten million Americans suffer from comorbid medical and psychiatric illnesses at any given time, making the need to evaluate, diagnose, and treat such individuals a significant public health issue.  Thought only to have a home on medical and surgical units of hospitals, psychosomatic medicine is expanding to include various models of collaborative care. Mental health providers will have a role in developing population-based integrated care models for patients with psychiatric conditions.

This symposium will provide an overview on some of the most common, important, and interesting topics in the field of psychosomatic medicine including women’s mental health, sleep disorders, catatonia, epilepsy, delirium, and managing difficult patients in a medical setting.  These topics will be taught in a stimulating and interactive, often case-based, manner.

Monday Innovative models in CL; Delirium; Catatonia; Women’s mental health; Vitamin deficiencies

Tuesday Depression in the medically ill; Sleep disorders; Difficult patients; Epilepsy: Neuropsychiatric consequences; Palliative care
