Intended Audience
This year’s conference is intended for practitioners, mental health professionals, and researchers of ECT and related stimulation techniques. A poster session will allow for the most recent research in ECT and other brain stimulation modalities to be presented. The information presented in this CME offering reflects the opinion of the presenters. As with all science, there may be multiple explanations for the data and multiple reasonable conclusions.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to
  • discuss the latest clinical trials and knowledge of ketamine and ECT in treating depression,
  • discuss the latest clinical data on risks of complications and identify new techniques in managing ECT side effects,
  • summarize new strategies in the use of TMS and DBS in the treatment of psychiatric disorders,
  • describe topics in basic science and clinical research of ECT and related brain stimulation treatment.
