 |
Patient and FamilyTake a 360-degree view of patients and their unique resources and challenges. Address problems beyond the psychiatric disorder: treatment non-adherence, risk-taking behaviors, risk of suicide or violence, patient or family acting-out, and drug-seeking behaviors. |

Heal Your ClinicEliminate recurring and foreseeable challenges presented by patients, families, and staff. Develop robust, easy-to-follow, and fair clinic procedures. Detailed strategies and sample scripts are provided. You won’t believe how much stress these approaches simply wipe away. |
 |
Career Management: Your Action PlanGet to the heart of what drives you and develop a career plan that aligns with your deepest values and life goals. This year’s conference includes presentations on setting up Telepsychiatry and Direct Pay Practices, two great ways of increasing career flexibility, joy at work, and value for patients. |
 |
Clinician Wholeness & Well-BeingLearn techniques to increase your life satisfaction, improve your health, and decrease stress and burnout. Attend Yoga sessions, guided imagery exercises, an ice-breaker reception, family-fun activities, and make (possibly life-long) friends. |

I enjoyed this conference. It was a great balance of empirical data and clinical experience. The speakers were very engaging and responsive to audience questions and opinions. Jennifer Harrington Excellent presenters, very useful and pleasant staff. The information was updated, concise and easy to understand. The location and accommodations were very good. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself! Graciela M. Gonzalez If you were looking for a high-yield clinically applicable seminar - the Master CAMP is the course for you! Not having the time to read all the latest studies, this conference has leaders in the field condense and present findings that will directly affect my practice. Wonderful! Leah Cobb, Harrogate, TN It was well paced, and relaxed and yet “so” met the need to deliver cutting edge research with tips to apply research into clinical practice. All the major studies were discussed in a short, focused way. Staff were helpful and I made some friends!! Shobha Chottera It seems that every detail was thought out from food and snacks provided to the welcome receptions. All the speakers were excellent and really appreciate the organization of the notes for future reference. Sarah Buxley |
