Course description and learning objectives:

This session will review basic psychopharmacology and is aimed at healthcare professionals and clinicians who do not generally prescribe medications. The workshop will provide an overview of psychopharmacology, including common targets of medication therapy and predicted effects based on the mechanism. Links between psychopharmacology and anticipated adverse effects will be emphasized. Next, we will explore the use of specific medications in the treatment of psychiatric diseases/disorders. We will explore place in therapy and clinical pearls. Throughout the session, participants will have an opportunity to participate in multiple small group activities and breakout rooms to explore the concepts we discuss in more detail.
