Introducing TWO New Medication-focused CME Podcasts!






TWO New CME Podcasts in Complex Clinical Decisions in Psychopharmacology Series

SAMHSA's Recovery to Practice (RTP) is pleased to introduce two new podcasts in its  Complex Clinical Decisions in Psychopharmacology  podcast series.
  • More Than One: Considering Multiple Medications in a Recovery Plan
  • Long-acting Injectable Antipsychotics in Mental Health Recovery
These podcasts, like the others in the series, explore complex clinical decisions in psychopharmacology for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) in a short, 30- to 45-minute format for busy providers on the go. Listen at any time from any device!
 
Each podcast features national experts in recovery-oriented pharmacology who describe practical clinical tools and strategies for incorporating person-centered, strength-based approaches to common yet complex prescribing scenarios. Join host Dr. Curley Bonds, chief deputy director for clinical operations at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, and his guests as they explore meaningful ways to mesh scientific evidence and best practices with the whole of an individual's life, including relationships, communities, goals, and preferences.
 
NO COST to you! For most podcasts, receive up to 1 CME credit from the American Academy of Family Physicians.
