As a young psychiatrist, this conference was a perfect bridge between academia and the real world. Attending Psych Congress annually is sure to keep my skills and knowledge base at the forefront of psychiatry for years to come."

The 2019 conference in San Diego was my fourth time attending this stellar conference. It is such a unique blend of clinical psychiatry, and psychopharmacology. I always come away with several “pearls” that are directly applicable to my practice. I’m looking forward to returning to the 2020 gathering in Nashville.

I have been attending Psych Congress for approximately the past 13 years. Presenters and steering committee members are excellent speakers. I always come away with new insight and learn about advances in psychiatry. The 2019 Congress was especially enlightening.

This conference encourages intense learning at all levels and provides clinical knowledge, hands-on skills, and critical thinking. An expansive number of topics and presentations cover what we need most in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. The Psych Congress faculty is comprised of thought leaders who really care about their own patients, and about all the dedicated practitioners who provide mental healthcare for our nation."
