Description:
Now in its 39th year, Psych Congress is the nation's leading conference on practical psychopharmacology. We're more than a meeting—we're a community of passionate mental health clinicians. For five days this fall, engage in a unique, integrated forum full of practical, real-world training, covering the latest techniques, treatments, best practices, and evidence-based care. The 2026 event will offer more sessions, more credits, and more opportunities than ever before.
This is the conference of the year for all psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, primary care physicians, and other mental health professionals to gain the practical education needed to improve patient outcomes. No other conference offers the same breadth and level of comprehensive psychopharmacology education, combined with state-of-the-art treatment approaches and emerging research findings.
