Description

Many of you are already familiar with AzAAP’s ongoing emotional and behavioral health ECHO series. We are now expanding our resources to offer a second monthly educational series: Psych Office Hours: Education & Case Consultation. This series aims to provide shared learning experiences, group consultation, case-based discussion, and cross collaboration between psychiatrists and primary care providers. Providers attending the session will have the opportunity to build their knowledge and skills on how to manage behavioral health topics from a psychiatrist’s perspective. Psych Office Hours: Education & Case Consultation series adopts a peer-learning approach where active participation and questions are welcomed during each session.

Attendees are encouraged to submit deidentified cases and questions before the informal sessions for discussion. You can submit your case(s) to be considered for discussion here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PMHCA-CASE-SUBMISSION
