“As a full-time physician mom, CME events are part of my re-fueling strategy. This is the first API conference for me. It certainly lived up to its name. The clinical material is comprehensive, relevant, and easily applicable to a busy outpatient clinic practice. The venue catered to families and individual attendees alike. Kudos to Dr. Krasuski’ s staff who kept everything running smoothly. Special shout out to Michael and Lynne for answering the little details that made a big difference. Eight of my friends and I have decided that the Oasis is our new CME home!!”

Aileen Yap, MD, Sacramento, CA

“What a wonderful conference. The lectures were informative, clinically relevant, and the speakers were fantastic. The experience learning sessions were a great bonus. The staff from API was amazing. Best conference ever.”

Dr. Patricia Miner

“I have been attending the API conferences/courses for years. Well organized, always with excellent speakers/relevant material. Dr. Jack’s lectures this year (Experiential learning) are added bonuses; his presence and personalized approach make the conference more valuable for me. Each time I return from one of these conferences, I feel empowered/more confident and excited about my day-to-day work with patients.”

Visnja Novaski, Great Falls, VA

“Fantastic conference, as always. This conference never disappoints. I consider this conference one of my most attended conferences each year. Phenomenal speakers and very relevant topics. Very well-organized. Appreciate it is industry-free. I will definitely be back next year.”

Leah A. Rudnick, MD, Albuquerque, NM

“I have attended several courses throughout my career. Dr. Krasuski’s MasterPsych Conferences, Beat the Boards Review, Beat the Boards Geriatric Psychiatry. The information is well organized. Lots of PEARLS and current evidence-based treatment information. The staff is courteous and wants to make sure the agenda has fun activities at the end. Good networking opportunities. In a field where burnout is common, Dr. Jack reminds us why we became Psychiatrists and how to ignite the fire to keep us going. Thanks.”

Marilyn Horvath, Miromar, FL

“This is my third conference with you. I keep coming back for the great package that you create. Great speakers, excellent updates and material, great locations, CME credit availability, easy web access, very personable helpful staff. I always return from one of your conferences updated, encouraged, refreshed with great material to use with my staff and patients – Thank you.”

Frank Garner, Yakima, WA

“Valuable clinical information in a relaxing and fun atmosphere. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. Enjoy meeting colleagues from around the country and hearing about their experiences in the practice of psychiatry.”

Dr. Gregory M. Keane, DO

“The Oasis 2019 Psychiatry Conference was outstanding. The guided meditations led by Dr. Jack were very calming and helped enhance the wonderful conference experience. This was a beautiful setting with outstanding meals and entertainment. Refreshing to have NO pharma involvement. Thanks!”

Jonathan Colen, DO, FAPA

“I have been coming to API board preparation classes and conferences for over nine years now. Each year is better than the last. The conference always has dynamic speakers who are at the forefront of what they do. I never feel they are pushing their own agenda or research. I feel I always learn practical information as to how to improve my practice and shift paradigms. I always leave feeling like my passion for psychiatry is re-ignited, and I am excited to see how the changes I will make will help my patients.”

Laila Contractor

“This is a wonderful conference! Great location. Relaxed atmosphere. Opportunity to watch sessions you aren’t able to attend live and still earn CME credits and gain valuable practical information.”

Marlene Adams

“Since my first attendance at a board review course [with API] 11 years ago, I have found the program VERY helpful in improving my practice. I like the smaller size of the conference and not being lost in the crowd. Presenters genuinely appeared interested in answering questions.”

Ike Ohiaeri

“My colleague recommended this conference. I’m glad she did as it was wonderful! Useful, evidence-based talks. I will definitely attend this conference again in the future!”

Dr. Anduradha Thrupathy

“From start to finish, the vision of this conference is unique. Throughout the educational and other activities, there was a focus on well-being, self-care, healthy options, and interconnectedness. This was reflected in Dr. Jack’s guidance on greeting each other, making friends, and staying in touch after the conference, in the choices of food, and in the supplements: music during lunch, family-oriented events, and his own seminars on physician growth and well-being. The seminars’ educational value was also top-notch in both content and delivery. I will be back!”

Paurani Rana

“This is the second year in a row that I’ve attended this conference. The speakers are clearly experts in their field, and most are very dynamic and engaging. The most useful parts of this conference are the practical approach to the content. The pearls I take with me will undoubtedly improve my clinical practice. On a more personal basis, this conference has challenged me to consider what I really want in my professional life. I’ll be thinking about this carefully over the next few months and making changes to improve my satisfaction and happiness in what I do.”

Stephanie Page

“As with any of API’s conferences, the quality of the lectures is always excellent, and on top of that, having the ability to talk to other psychiatrists is an added bonus that you will not get at any APA conference. The material is always relevant.”

Vishal Shah

“I used Beat the Boards! throughout residency and attended last year’ s conference. I can honestly say that the content never disappoints. Dr. Jack and team continue to help me stretch my understanding of psychiatry.”

Matt McDougall

“Really appreciate the lack of bias/absence of pharm industry sponsorship. Topics & content were practical & inspiring. Would definitely return.”

“The conference speakers were overall excellent. As compared to other conferences I’ve attended, the speakers were knowledgeable and obviously skilled at speaking/presenting. The range of content was comprehensive; the information was new in many instances. The meals, social events, and entertainment were tremendous – and exceeded the quality of any conference I’ve attended.”

Claus P. VonSchon

“Would highly recommend your conferences. I came last year and enjoyed it so much that I couldn’t wait to come again this year. The experience of hearing and talking with a variety of colleagues was the most helpful in addition to the unbiased, friendly, knowledgeable presenters made this an experience I’ve ever had at a conference. I also found the guided imagery sessions an added benefit.”

Mary Ann Mikus, DO

“It was a great opportunity to get away from a busy work schedule to obtain knowledge, meet and greet with fellow colleagues, enjoy food, impressive entertainment, scenic environment in a beautiful city in California. Thank you, Dr. Jack and team, 🙂 ”

Robia Fields, MD, Leesburg, VA

“The speakers were the top in the field and yet no questions went unanswered, no statement was not addressed/discussed. Being educated by/with these masters was like jamming with Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis.”

Herbert Cruz, MD, Fresno , CA

“After attending this course, I feel more confident in dealing with challenging patients. In addition, very useful, up-to-date information provided by experts in their field of practice. I look forward to attending future psychopharm courses. Thank you so much Jack!”

Virginia Corpuz, MD, El Dorado Hills, CA

“This was my first API course but it will definitely be an annual occurrence for me. I expected 4 days of talks about medications, but it was much more beneficial than that. The speakers included renowned researchers and the topics covered were practical, clinical and substantiated by the latest literature. Everything was very organized and ran efficiently. Very satisfied each day!”

Dominic Gomes, MD, Westlake, OH

“Dr. Jack, I go to lots of meetings, and yours are among the most useful and enjoyable. I appreciate your obvious understanding of the balance between learning and absorbing so much information, and the need to pace that learning with meaningful opportunities for rest and relaxation between sessions. Thank you!”

Pam Forbes, MD, Roswell, GA

“This is my first Oasis conference and I am already looking forward to attending annually. The speakers, who are experts in their field, gave current information and new data on research, which are relevant to clinical practice. They provided practical approaches to difficult cases. I also appreciate the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel resort, which is also suitable for a family getaway.”

Rinah Gutierrez, MD, Kennewick, WA

“This course met, and in most cases, exceeded my expectations for such a course. The opportunity to “catch up” on the latest clinical information and research in both adult and child/adolescent psychiatry was incredible. I also greatly appreciate the opportunities to interact with so many psychiatrists in different types of practices.”

Robert Zeszotarski, MD, Santa Margarita, CA

“Great way to reconnect with faculty, colleagues and friends, and share/learn new knowledge and stay up to date. Fun way to earn needed CME.”

A. Temerova, Los Angeles, CA

“Jack, this was a SPECTACULAR course, practical and useful. One of the most powerful presentations was your presentation on suicide. I have recently supported the expansion of intensive outpatient services, and your concept and strategies to suicide treatment and assessment is what I will bring back to my team. I believe this additional education is the support needed to all case managers. Thank you!!”

Maria Villarosa, Riverside, CA

Lucia Cheng, San Jose, CA

“Every year I love learning key interventions, treatment plans,  and recommendations that I can apply in my practice. I appreciate taking time off to participate in a course that provides practical information. Never a waste of my educational time, which is so important to me. My time is valuable and you don’t let me down.”

Maria Villarosa, Riverside, CA

“Excellent Comprehensive review that exceeds just focusing in pharmacology. Good emphasis on benefits of CBT and medical legal risks.”

Audrey Hill, MD, Grand Blanc, MI

“Truth be told Dr. Jack, the fact that despite this mastery and executed course you feel and know you can make it better, is a testament to your awesome character. An inspiration to us all! You search and seek from all you can for ways to improve. You optimize Human potential in ALL of us.”

Bethie Wharton, Ann Arbor, MI

“I love how these conferences provide me with practical information that I can implement immediately in my practice.”
