2nd Annual Chairs in Psychiatry Summit Recap

The 2nd Annual Chairs in Psychiatry Summit was a resounding success, drawing practicing clinicians from 37 states and from Canada. The annual conference featured plenary sessions, small group breakouts, and small interactive chart reviews led by the psychiatry department chairs.

The 2nd Annual Chairs in Psychiatry Summit was a "green" meeting, providing participants the presentation slides on USB flash drives versus in print. The new format was very well received and offered CME Outfitters the ability to provide late-breaking updates to the presentations.

Over the next few days, we will be uploading the slides to the Communities of Practice slide library on neuroscienceCME.com. We will also post the interesting cases used during the chart review sessions and encourage you to share and challenge your colleagues as part of your mentoring and educational initiatives.

To accommodate the large number of new presentations and help our users easily locate and download the slides they need, we will be making significant updates to the neuroscienceCME.com slide library in the next few weeks.

Watch our website and upcoming issues of Clinical Compass™ for the 2nd Annual Chairs in Psychiatry Summit Meeting Highlights. Stay tuned for the dates and location of next year's meeting—you're not going to want to miss it!
