Thursday, July 18, 2024, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM, Zoom

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (70.50 hours), Non-Physician (70.50 hours)

UW PACC is an innovative educational outreach strategy for psychiatrists and primary care providers throughout Washington (and beyond) through a 1.5 hour long weekly telemedicine educational program and case consultation series with UW Psychiatry and Addictions Medicine experts. The objective is to improve community clinicians’ capacity to deliver compassionate, measurement/outcome determined and evidence-based care for mental health patients. This training emphasizes a wide breadth of psychiatric and addiction topics through case-based learning with the goal of improving their knowledge base and capacity to treat patients with these issues. Each session is comprised of a 20-30-minute didactic on fundamental principles and evidence for best practices, followed by presentations of challenging mental health cases from the community. Written recommendations are sent to each presenting provider at the conclusion of the conference. Each quarter, we send participants an evaluation that includes quality and relevance of each individual session, other required post-CME activity questions and additional questions relevant to the program. Please see attached year 8 quarter 1 evaluation, as an example. Participants can also opt into text evaluations after each session.
