The target audience for this medical event are Mental Health Professionals involved in the research and treatment of people with psychiatric conditions who have cognitive deficits. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 7.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Course participants will acquire knowledge about different approaches to treating cognitive deficits, how cognitive deficits can impact everyday functioning, the factors that influence a positive response to cognitive remediation, how medications affect cognition, and how to provide cognitive remediation to different psychiatric populations.

•Identify cognitive deficits and how they interfere with recovery
•Identify evidence-based cognitive remediation approaches used in clinical practice
•Define types of motivation and describe their roles in cognitive remediation/rehabilitation
