What Psychiatrists Report About The MasterPsych Conference
“This is the third course I have taken from you. I found all of them valuable and effective in improving my practice and making me a better physician. In fact, to me, the quality of your courses is so much superior to those offered by the APA meeting that I no longer spend money on the APA meeting- I just do not like wasting my money!”
Beth Milford, MD, Novato, CA
“I am a general psychiatrist in a rural area of North Carolina. We are seeing more children and adolescents in our clinic. After this conference, I feel more capable of treating these patients without referring them to a child psychiatrist who is 50-100 miles out of our area.”
Patricia Wesson, MD, Ahoskie, NC
“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 |
“Finally, a course that combines up-to-date research with real world clinical applications for those of us on the front line dealing with patients, families, and insurance companies. Thank you.”
Robia Fields, MD, Leesburg, VA
“This was a good learning experience for me. It was good to hear (live) from speakers whose articles & chapters I have read. The course affirmed some of my practices and helped me with some problem-solving methods for complicated cases. It was also nice to hear I am not the only one to hear from disgruntled parents. A very good experience. I will do it again!”
Kala Kumar, MD, Bedford, NH
“This conference provides both a go-to resource for psychopharmacology decision making on the front lines of psychiatric practice, and the basics for meaningful education of patients and their families. These two assets promise to transfer the quality of my practice, especially in the enormously challenging populations with acute and chronic mood disorder and schizophrenia. More than any other conference, this one has both informed and changed my office practice with respect to prescribing and monitoring- I will be rethinking most of my patients.”

Vinoda Makam, MD, Mableton, GA
“I attended the Master Psychopharmacology Course in 2010 and now in 2011, and both courses were equally good. Faculty and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

I recommend this course to all practicing psychiatrists to update and add new information to their knowledge. Excellent course.”
Padma K. Lassi, MD, Manhattan, KS

Shron Massai, MD, Wadsworth, OH
“It’s valuable to preserve on-site meetings such as the AMPP course now that so many of our CME is easily obtained via virtual technology or in-home study courses. There are few meetings that are not mega conventions and that are also free of soliciting and sponsorship. Speakers for this course have been thoughtfully chosen for effective teaching credentials. Uploading live lectures definitely a plus!”
Henry Amado, MD, San Diego, CA
