Overview
The concept of brain medicine aims to integrate clinical and neuroscientific perspectives across the various non-surgical specialties (e.g., neurology, psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, allied medical, and mental health services) that care for and conduct research in people with biopsychosocially-complex brain disorders. This one-day CE activity accredited by Harvard Medical School will include pre-recorded lectures with a virtual live Q&A format. Speakers will include experts in behavioral neurology & neuropsychiatry, consultation liaison psychiatry, biological psychiatry, cognitive-affective neuroscience, brain medicine, and brain health, speaking on a broad array of assessment and management principles for individuals with brain disorders that negatively impact cognition, behavior, emotion, perception, social cognition, and sensorimotor functions. Content for this 2nd annual course will specifically include topics such as: brain medicine in 2026, social networks, digital phenotyping, neuropsychological testing, personalizing neuromodulation interventions, and primary and secondary psychotic spectrum disorders. On-demand viewing of all talks will be available for 30 days.
