ForwardSession 4: Pediatric Psychopharmacology Update (July 28-29)
The ability to comfortably provide pharmacotherapy for child mental health problems is now a critical skill for primary care clinicians of all disciplines. This symposium will review advances in the use of medications for both commonly seen and more unusual mental health disorders. Emphasis will be placed on the underlying pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles that can guide care. Challenging clinical vignettes will be the base for discussions. Participants are encouraged to bring their own ‘problem cases’ for discussion by the group.
