Session Time and Location

The live session is complete.

Target Audience

This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other healthcare professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.

Session Summary

More than 150 available drugs may cause QTc interval prolongation and TdP, including more than 40 psychotropic/neurologic agents. Few resources are available to clinicians to aid them in stratifying and minimizing the risk of drug-induced QTc interval prolongation and TdP. This program will provide useful tools and methods for the practicing pharmacist to help identify patients at risk for QTc interval prolongation and TdP and modify the risk through clinical interventions.
