2026 MPS Spring Education Program
Date: Saturday, April 25, 2026 Time: 8 AM to 5 PM, with award reception to follow Location: Courtyard by Marriott Edina Bloomington 4460 West 78th Street Circle, Bloomington, MN This year’s MPS Spring Education Program focuses on stigma in mental health and substance use care as a throughline connecting clinical work, access to care, policy, and the systems we operate within. The goal is not abstraction, but relevance: practical insights, grounded discussion, and Minnesota-based examples that resonate with day-to-day practice. The program will bring together colleagues from across the state for a mix of keynote sessions, panels, a poster session, and short flash talks. Together, these sessions are designed to surface ideas you can use, perspectives that challenge assumptions, and conversations that are difficult to have in more compressed settings. We are pleased to welcome Dr Mark Rapaport, incoming APA President, as keynote speaker. His national leadership on parity, stigma reduction, and access to care provides a timely frame for examining how these issues intersect with psychiatric practice in Minnesota today. The day concludes with a dinner and awards ceremony, recognizing leadership and advocacy in psychiatry and offering time to continue conversations in a more relaxed setting. The program offers CME credit, with all meals, snacks, and beverages included. Program details and speaker updates coming soon. |
