Dr. Kenneth Carter, a board-certified clinical psychologist with a Master’s degree in clinical psychopharmacology, shares his clinical experience and training to provide detailed information about the range of common medications prescribed for mental health conditions. You will get the latest information on antidepressants, anxiolytics, and common medications for insomnia and Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder among others. Through lecture, the examination of multi-disciplinary ethics codes, and real case examples, you will take a close look at the ethical decisions that accompany medication use and the non-prescribers role and limits with regard to medication discussions with your patients.

Dr. Carter answers questions from providers in the field and walks through examples of practical clinical discussions that come up every day in practice, including how to discuss scope of practice with your patients in order to optimize their care when working with multiple providers. The goal is for you to leave better prepared to communicate with your clients as well as the prescribers, as Dr. Carter instructs you on how medications work, their benefits, and the side effects and dangerous reactions associated with them.
