November 5, 2021

WELCOME!

Hello! We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2021 Psychiatry Symposium.

Over the past year, we witnessed and experienced unprecedented changes in Psychiatry. The pandemic created a bubble of complexity which took a toll on the mental health of many in our country. Thus, we are excited to present this year’s Virtual Symposium with a continuation of our theme “The Hidden Fourth Wave of the Pandemic”.

We planned a half day of stimulating plenary and breakout sessions which include the following topics :

  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Sleep and Mental Health
  • Wellness
  • Ketamine Treatment
  • Cannabis and Psychiatry
  • Benzodiazepine management
  • Virtual Care
  • Modern Psychotherapy

In addition to the high-quality scientific content from local and national experts, you can connect with your peers over live virtual networking session.
 

On behalf of the Planning Committee,
we look forward to your attendance on Nov 5, 2021!
