Overview
​Psychiatry is constantly seeking answers and exploring new approaches to be able to offer patients as many tools as needed. This conference will focus on novel approaches to psychiatry, from pharmacological interventions and psychedelics to innovations in neuromodulation, behavioral interventions and digital therapeutics including cognitive learning, and novel care delivery models. Participants will engage in inter-disciplinary learning, exchange ideas and consider expanded pathways to implement in practice.
