Course Description
This is a tremendously exciting time in geriatric psychiatry, as new advances and increasing knowledge are leading to improved care and management of patients. Keeping up with all of this information, however, is a daunting challenge, especially for practicing clinicians.
McLean Hospital is pleased to offer Geriatric Psychiatry in 2008. This intensive, two-day course is designed to update participants in numerous aspects of geriatric psychiatry, including recent advances in the understanding and treatment of dementia, late-life psychosis, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and personality disorders. A variety of treatment modalities will be covered, including psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. Broader topics will also be covered, including an overview of the importance of geriatric psychiatry, medical issues, end-of-life issues, sleep disorders, addiction and exercise in the elderly.
Our widely acclaimed faculty features internationally renowned speakers as well as clinicians in specialized practices. They will decisively review and synthesize recent advances in geriatric psychiatry in an easy-to-understand manner.
Course Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Learn about the diagnosis and management of mood disorders, dementia, psychosis, sleep disorders in the elderly.
- Understand cognition, nutrition, cross culture, safety issues, sexuality and spirituality in the elderly
- Explore medical crises that can present as behavioral disturbances.
- Teach the importance of exercise and health for the elderly.
