Expert clinician educators with training in both internal medicine and psychiatry will provide a practical, evidence-based update for internists on approaches to interviewing patients with the goal of recognizing, diagnosing, treating, and/or referring patients with mental health disorders. The importance of a patient-centered approach, motivational interviewing, and basic cognitive behavioral techniques that can be quickly used in medical settings will be emphasized. An overview on psychopharmacology strategies in the general medical setting will also be discussed. Faculty will focus on psychiatric diagnoses that are prevalent in medical practice, including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, and bipolar mood disorders, with a goal of improving recognition, confidence in management, and effectiveness of referral.
