The live session is complete.

Target Audience

If you are a pharmacist, nurse practitioner, or other health care professional involved in the comprehensive medication management of individuals living with mental health and/or substance use disorders, we invite you to participate in this online course.

Session Summary

Pharmacists learn from various colleagues throughout their training and employment. Time and competing priorities prevent vetting all discussions with a thorough drug information search. Information changes over time. As such, some practices and concerns relevant to neuropsychiatry practice today may be inaccurate or based on an incomplete understanding of the evidence. It is important to periodically re-evaluate our practices to avoid perpetuation of misconceptions. In this session, participants will evaluate evidence-based medicine to clarify whether common ideas heard and shared in practice today are fact, myth or whether the verdict is still out.
